Potential tenant wants to pay to put up a fence
This 3BR house has only been vacant ten days and a lady looked at it and said she will sign the lease if A-- we paint the kitchen a different color, and B-- if we let her put up a chain link fence around the back yard at her own expense.
How does this sound to you guys? Would you go for it?
I'm wondering if there could be a buried hook in here somewhere, just because I am naturally cautious. I wonder if there's a catch. None of my other three houses have fenced yards and they seem to rent out just fine.
Can you help me weigh the pros and cons here? Thanks in advance.
