Tenant wants A/C too low

[Benjamin Richards]

I have the weirdest situation right now. The tenant I have in our nice condo where we used to live signed the lease late last year. He is in a surgery office and makes well over $100k. So far he has been the perfect tenant. He’s in his early fifties. But today he texted me and said that he had set the AC to 65 and it ran all day continuously but never got below 68 so he wonders if something’s wrong with it. I told him that we never ran it below 74 or 75 and I didn’t know if it can sustain lower temps. He said he “can’t survive in the seventies”. I said I would get someone to do routine maintenance on it and check it out (since I don’t know if that’s ever been done). But I’m not very keen about him running the AC on 65 all the time even if the system is capable of it. I guess there’s not much I can do, but what would you guys do in such a situation?
