Tenant requesting updates

[Stephanie Amezola]

New tenant is asking for updates - recessed lighting in all three bedrooms. They already signed their lease and we’ve already took the max on security deposit (in CA). This isn’t a cost we feel we would need to pay for if we do it for them since it’s their request. Can we tell them yes, but the cost will be at their expense and will be taken from their security deposit? Please help!

Just say no! If they decide they don't want the unit, let them go THANKFULLY!!!! They agreed to rent the unit in the condition it was in when they saw it. They WILL BE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE!!!
