Tenant shovels snow for wifi
I am currently house hacking a triplex and living in one of the units. I have my own wifi connection and to make a long story short, one of my tenants agreed to shovel snow this past winter for the password. This saved me plenty of money.
The same tenant has already offered to mow the lawn likely because he loves the location, realizes his rent is slightly below market and does not want to be kicked out of the month-to-month lease. I was thinking about offering access to my YouTube.tv account in the service exchange as a catalyst. This would save me even more money.
Should these small service exchanges as such be redrawn in the lease or are they better off under the radar? Any other ideas out there about how to save money related to landlord & tenant service exchanges?
