Swapping units with tenant...

[Chris Shelton]

My wife and I are currently house hacking our duplex. I've been making many improvements on our unit since we've lived in it such as cosmetic, plumbing and electrical. My tenants side needs alot of work done to it and offered (upon signing of their new lease) to switch units so that I can start the much needed work that is needed on that unit and they can live in the updated unit. When I asked if she would be interested she seemed a bit reluctant to do so. Any ideas on some incentives to use to get her to swap units? Thanks!

Cheers BP!
