Replace refrigerator icemaker?
We supply a refrigerator with our rental property. It's a modest but nice 3BR 2BA SFR in a nice neighborhood in Lee's Summit, MO. The refrigerator is older and the icemaker stopped working. The tenant has asked us to repair it, and our property manager is recommending that we repair it in the interest of making the tenant happier long-term.
I'm interested to see what everyone thinks -- is spending $325 to replace the icemaker a "good" investment to keep the tenant happier? Is an icemaker a "normal" feature in an fairly nice home? Or should we just tell the tenant sorry, we won't fix it, because it is an older refrigerator that we will eventually need to replace?
Interested in your thoughts.
