As a once long-term tenant (I rented the same place for 13 years), I would fix small issues like those myself. A new o-ring in the faucet, a little paint on the ceiling and some plaster work by the stairs. Wouldn't even tell the landlord about little maintenance things like that, I would just fix it. Maybe that's why my rent was never raised in those 13 years.
Now as a landlord, tenants like that are best to replace. All those little things seem to ruin their entire life and they will use anything against you to screw you over. Fix what she needs fixed enough to get her to shut up and when the lease is up inform her there is no renewal as you're going to remodel the apartment because she was always finding stuff wrong with it.
