Do I need to give tenant a discount on rent?

[Tu Anh Nguyen]

My rental is in Los Angeles. I have a problem tenant and need to change out/ fix things in his bathroom for about 6 hours (paint to dry). It will not affect the toilet and shower. He is requesting that I give him credit from rent. Do I have to oblige? Does any law require that I have to do this? Thank you

I’m no expert but I wouldn’t give him anything. You are making the property better for his use. I would consider it part of being a renter.
