Today is the greatest

[wishing, hoping]

It just seems to me that by just fixing major issues with duct tape and wood glue she doesn't want to put any money into the place. It sounds like there are major plumbing and roof problems, along with potential electrical issues. Sounds like a major safety issue to me.

And the fact that she repays you "at her own rate" versus what you actually paid out of pocket? Sorry, but that's a major red flag.

I think she is neglecting the building and she could get into serious trouble for some of these issues. If someone trips and falls over those floor boards and gets injured, there could be liability involved I am guessing. If you switch on a light or plug something into an outlet and there are constant water leaks around (which lets not kid ourselves, water can get anywhere) there is a risk of electrocution. And a leak that fills up a pot in two days? Where is that water coming from? Condensation? Leaky roof? Leaky pipes? Ugh.

Maybe you should look into getting an inspection yourself.
