Should I be required to change a light bulb for a tenant?
I wanted to get your thoughts:
In my lease, I state that any repairs less that $100.00 are the responsibility of the tenant. I have a younger tenant who is asking me to send someone out to change a lightbulb. I sent over a YouTube video link on how they can do it and she said her step stool won't reach.
Fellow landlords- while still providing great customer service without breaking the bank- how would you handle this??
Thank you,
Kim

You should have a $50 trip charge in your lease. This is in most states. Now, I have some very old tenants that I do stuff like this for. Never for someone that should be capable of doing it themselves.
