Tenant requesting improvements
So - have a tenant that moved in, and during her walk through, asked for a couple of improvements. I've been down this road before - so I rolled my eyes. But then she snapped me back to reality, and said that she wanted to pay for the improvements AND the installation!
What she wants is ceiling fans in the 2 bedrooms, so she doesn't have to run the air in the summer in her kids rooms (11 and 17), and she wants a garage door opener.
My lease says the usual about improvements staying with the house, and she's OK with that part - but having someone willing to pay for their improvements is new to me. I already told her that if the "owner" approved it, that his people would have it installed.
So - would would my BP associates do? Would you let her pay for the items, and install them on your dime? Would you let her purchase them, and let her pay for you for the installation? Neither?
Thanks in advance.
