Anything requiring roof access, working chemicals or sealants, disturbing masonry, disassembling the appliance, or interpreting a scan. The insurance and liability exposure on DIY liner install is disproportionate to the cost savings.
The Brampton rental market angle

Visual inspection with a flashlight, exterior debris clearing from the cap area (from a stable ladder, not the roof), and photo-documentation of concerns. That's the safe list.
