A/C Filter Change (tenant change vs. you change)

[Brian Leon]

Hi Everyone - easy one here but wanted some people's thoughts on it. 

I have an out of state investment with a clause in my lease that states that my property manager can enter the home (with notice) in order to change the A/C filters every 3 months. The purpose for this clause was my ability to 'check-in' on the inside of the home to make sure the tenants aren't destroying the property. However, as of right now I have no reason to believe this is happening. Which option do you think is best:

1. Send my property manager to replace the filter and check-in on the property. Would this annoy the landlord even though its in the terms of the lease. 

2. Give the option to the tenant to change the filter themselves and send me a picture to evidence the change. Note that I'd be shipping the AC filters directly to their door.

I'm trying to have a healthy balance of not bothering the tenant although its to keep the home operating effectively vs. keeping an eye on my property.
