Internet Access to Tenants
I'm renting out my first single-family house, and my question is:
Should it be my responsibility to set up internet for tenants? In other words, should I coordinate with the technician to set everything up? Or should the tenant do all that? The house is already wired; I just need the box and router set up.
I'm afraid that by setting it all up myself I will be on the hook for the utility bill, and I don't want that liability.
What do you all do regarding internet in your rental?
Thanks in advance,
Dalyn

@Dalyn Hazell if you set it up...guess who gets the call when Netflix starts buffering, a power surge renders the router and/or modem inoperable, or the local cable service is wiring in the neighborhood and internet is down for an hour or so.
