Fireplace Question

[Brady Hanna]

So I have a question for all of you seasoned landlords. My wife and I have differing opinions on this, so we decided that BP will be our answer. On one of our rental properties, the tenants asked us if they could use the wood burning fireplace to help heat the house. We have only had the house for 6 months and didn't check out the fireplace when we bought it. We went ahead and sent a fireplace company out for an inspection and they came back with $2000 in repairs to get it working. My question to you all is, would you fix it? The house is in a C- to D area and rents for $875/month. Thanks in Advance!
