This in the Texas summer mind you. Typically we can deny repairs if it’s not a necessity? None of these issues appeared in an inspection done before the property was put for lease.
What would you do? Unfortunately I think I have the wrong property management firm, and this whole thing is becoming a disaster and then some.
Is it only one property? Get rid of them and manage it yourself
You”ll be able to push back, keep the management fee, and most importantly learn so much!
Why Is your property management company approving all the repairs? Why don't you have ultimate authority to do so? And all these repairs, even if small, are they necessary for the property to function properly? I understand fireplace, but maybe there are things that do need fixing?
You needed to put in the lease that the fireplace is not to be used. I agree with ditching the PM company.
What else can we generally push back on? This tenant is putting in work orders and third party vendors are making a killing with uncharges.

You can push back on everything. Tell the property manager you will manually approve everything going forward. If they disagree, end the relationship. I started charging our tenant for some of the nick nack stuff they broke and claimed was wear and tear. Just a shot across the bow so they would knock it off
