Nice of you to purchase cushions, etc. I'd say some of your complaints are very valid and should have been taken up with the homeowner/caretaker, such as the flickering lights and hot water issues, cleanliness issues.

Not sure what to say about the older furniture. It sounds like it needs replacing but I doubt many homeowners are going to do that in a rental until they get several complaints.

However, depending on the type of lanai furniture, cushions may be your preference but not normally used for that style. So, if you want 'em, buy 'em. Ditto an ice cream scoop (left or righthanded) and crock pot. I agree that every home should have a colander and at least one serving platter.

Surely you knew before you rented that there was no wireless in the house? If that is a requirement for you, be sure you rent a house that has one, not expect the homeowner to add one. As to a printer, few houses have one for good reason -- renters use all the ink, do not replace paper, jam it. To be polite, printers are a royal pain to maintain. So, I'd say some of your complaints are really not reasonable, but most definitely are.

Honestly, from what you described, you had homeowners who did not care what you were getting and just wanted your money. Fortunately, most homeowners here are not like that. Most care about what they are renting and their renters. Hopefully, your next rental here will be more to your liking.
