Updated 10 months ago,
tenant says he's afraid that his infant will cut her fingers on brand new radiators.
In 2015, i had radiators installed on the 2nd floor (bottom pic). In 2023, i had them installed on the 1st floor (top pic) at a cost of $1,000. They are from different manufactures. i got a new tenant in on Jan 1, 2024. Today he wrote, "The
dining room radiator doesnt have a guard on it (top pic). We didn't realize this when we moved here, but now the baby is very mobile and she has been sticking her fingers in. The inside is very sharp. The upstairs radiator has finger guards (bottom pic). Do you know where the guards are for the downstairs radiator?"
There is no missing guard. That is how it is designed by the manufacturer. What do i do now that he said that he is afraid that his daughter will cut her fingers? I can't imagine that the manufacturer of the 1st floor radiators made them in a manner that will be harmful to children? Am I responsible for taking them out and having to install new ones?
This is the 3rd issue that he asked to repair since he moved in on January 1, 2024. Should i offer to have him look for another living situation? or hire an electrician pull the new ones out and replace them with ones that suite him? The last thing i want to deal with is a lawsuit. What do i do?
