voluntary rent abatement

[Jean B.]

hi. how do you guys handle voluntary rent abatement for repairs ? had an ac drain leak and had some sheetrock/paint repairs to do. also rented some remediation equipment. took 3 weeks to get the work done (ran into contractor who dropped the ball on the repair). Tenant does not use that bathroom, but in the end it is still an inconvenience. Just trying to be a responsible and good landlord; i expect my tenants to perform also.

@Jean B. I'm assuming this is a second bathroom and the tenant had use of another bathroom this whole time? I would not offer any sort of rent rebate. I certainly wouldn't offer 1/2 month rent off! Repairs happen. Tenant still had use of her unit.
