AC expectation in Rental
I have a single family three-bed two-bath home that is 1554 square feet . I did not upgrade the AC when I renovated the home. I'm renting it out and I have really great tenants. The only problem is that the AC is too small for the house . At the same time it's cooling well and functioning as it should. Going by the 20 degree rule it's working just fine. However it gets to be a hundred to 104 where I am . My tenants want to keep the house at 70 to 73° at all times regardless of the heat outside. They now want me to upgrade the AC which will cost quite a bit of money. I want to keep the tenants but the investment to upgrade is quite significant. I have to decide whether to upgrade at a price tag of around 8 to $10,000 or tell them no. Thoughts?
