My Responsibility as landlord?

[Michael Paling]

My tenant just out of the blue asks “are you free today to install my new kitchen faucet and shower head?” No prior notice about any issues with either item. Forget about them wanting it done “today” for the moment, but am I wrong to say that if these items are currently working and they’re just wanting an upgrade/fancier setup that it’s not my responsibility?

Not wrong at all - as a landlord you dictate whether or not upgrades are done whether cosmetic or not. Its not really at the discretion of the tenant.  Especially things like shower heads because you could end up messing up the rough plumbing if you don't know what your doing.  This should be laid out in the lease agreement.

Of course If its not working then it would be your responsibility, unless otherwise specified in the lease agreement.
