Quirks a home/house could have?

I like to write in my spare time, and I am writting a story, about three girls who found a great, beautiful OLD (but renivated so some things are modern) house to rent. They think its a bit cheap, considering it has 3 floors, and is gorgeous, but they take it. After they move in, they realize it has funny quirks quirks. A LOT of quirks. One of which being that everytime it rains, the power going out. There's 5 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, an office, sitting/dining room, living room, kitchen, basement, balconies, 2 spiral stair cases and one regular staircase.


Any quirks you can think of are much appreciated. Here's some I've thought of s far:


Basement floods


Garbage disposel propells food everywhere if not covered


Handle to a bathroom pops off frequently

here goes a very long one....


ok, i have two doors in my bedroom


one that leads to the bathroom and another that goes to the hall


when i leave one door slightly ajar (like its basically closed but the peg is not in the hole) and i open the other one, the air flow makes the other door open which occasionally freaks me out cuz its like another person coming into the room





essentially its this (open door from hall, air goes across room, hits ajar door and opens it, i go AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!)





others include doors that wont lock or ones that lock from the inside but your outside





a faulty faucet hose in the kitchen that sprays randomly at the user





candels melting sideways because it gets so hot upstairs





toilets backing up





and





ceiling fan blades becoming detached and slinging across the roomQuirks a home/house could have?
How about when it is damp or humid weather the doors tend to swell and stick shut.... sometimes making them nearly impossible to open, but when it is dry weather they tend to shrink and not latch well and open at awkward/ embarrassing moments....especially the bathroom doors!
plumbing pipes thumping


wheezing gasping sound when the toilet is flushed


a squeak in the floor that moves: one day it is in the center, the next, it is by the door.


windows that will open by themselves(I had one. freaked me out and never figured out why it did it and when it would happen.)
every time lighting flashes no matter how far the blender or t.v starts,things tend to dissapear. the sink either starts and wont stop or wont turn on .
Haunted?
had an old house with weird steps.... you going up them would put pressure on the step, it would sink a little...... then later on, the step would 'rebound' back to where it should be.... and it did it as if you were walking UP the steps again.... so, with no one around, you'd hear the creaks of 'someone walkiing up the stairs'....





another house was surrounded by clay soil.... when the soil was dry, nothing weird happened... but if it rained a lot and the soil got soaked, it sorta swelled up, putting pressure on the house's slab and wood supports.... and they creaked... that little bit of movement resulted in some very odd pops at the most inopertune times...like when all was quiet.....
