Tenants want garbage disposal installed

[Ian Krysztofiak]

Hello everyone.

First time landlord here. I just had my first tenants move into my property on the 1st, when doing the final walkthrough I reminded them that there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen, I did mention this to them before they signed the lease. They suggested that their contractor family friend could install one and that they would pay for it. I told them I would consider it as I'm hesitant about having this "contractor" do any plumbing on my property. Another issue is there isn't an outlet under the sink to plug the disposal into. I suggested to them we could split the costs 50/50 of installing the electric, the garbage disposal, and the labor for installing it as I would be more comfortable having my guy do it. Let me know your thoughts. I'm curious if this seems like a fair proposal.
