Rental is at cost to Anna (interest on mortgage, content/buildings insurance, water bill rate) who will be in the USA. Yearly boiler services will be arranged by the Anna. Other repairs (due to wear and tear) will be paid for by Anna but should be organised by the tenant (e.g. fixing washing machine). The alternative is to get a letting agents involved and then the cost goes up.
