Tenant Repair Request

[Richard Vang]

Hi, 

one of my tenant just move-in and I already have a long to-do list. For example, he wants new carpet, new paint. Complained the fridge is too small, complained the washer dryer didn't hooked up properly etc...

In addition to that, the home inspections was ordered without my knowledge. Now, he said he will send me the home inspection report and I should address the issues from the report. 

Is this tenant too difficult or am I being over paranoid? (the tenant is just ok... meet all the very very minimum screening requirement.)

Any thoughts or commend welcomed. Thanks.

solution is simple, really. abide by all legal requirements for repair, and agreements you might have already made....and nothing else. be courteous, but forceful. ..recall the movie remember the titans?.."gary, if you want to play for this team you will answer when I ask you.....who is your daddy gary?" ....

I had a tenant recently have me pick up rent from her the first month she was due to pay me. when I showed up, she started huffing and puffing about a discount she wanted off rent because I had to have the oven repaired and a window was leaking when it rained....my response?? no...right to her face....then she started again....to which I replied.."im not cutting your rent, but I would like to see the window problem while im here and will have it addressed immediately "....she saw A. im not going to take **** B. im still professional about it....needless to say she was short rent, but pay me the rest the next day....speak softly and carry a big stick.
