Apartments need less, but not nothing
It's tempting to think a lock-up-and-leave apartment looks after itself. The common failure points are unglamorous and consistent: a slow leak under a sink, a fridge left running or left off badly, balcony drainage blocking, a water heater failing, post piling visibly outside a door. A short regular visit catches all of it.
