Denying tenant request?

[MONICA WATSON]

My tenant has been in the house for three months now. She just ask if we can put window screens on when my husband goes to change air filter Saturday. The house is air conditioned and there are about 10-11 windows. 

I asked her if everythng was Ok she said yes until I mentioned coming over to change filter. I want to deny her request nicely. What do you think?

In Pearland people might be running the AC nine months of the year, but I'm sure you have a few nice days when it would be good to open the windows without letting bugs in. :)

I think it's a reasonable request. It's easy to build the screens from frame kits if you're handy. If not, it couldn't cost that much to have someone help you out. As a compromise, you could ask her about the three or four windows that are most important, and provide screens for those. Most people would not open every window in the house.
