Reimburse tenant for major inconvenience?
I have a major plumbing issue at a SFR rental that involves a complicated solution. Don't want to get into details but it requires coordinated activities with three separate trades, and bottom line is my tenant is not going to be able to use the kitchen sink and dishwasher for a period of time. Today is day 1. I am estimating perhaps I can get everything put back together Monday the best scenerio and Thursday the worst scenerio.
Everything else works, bathrooms, washing machines no issues. Just the kitchen drain is "disabled".
They notified me of the problem yesterday, I investigated today and have formulated a solution. So they will not have any use of the kitchen sink / dishwasher for 4-7 days total so practically not able to cook.
Is this something you would reimburse your tenants for the inconvenience it caused? No they have not asked, I am just wondering.
Do you knock some $ off next month's rent?
or something else?
Of course, this assumes they didn't contribute to the problem.
