Who should pay for thr initial cable installation?

Kristen S.
Posted

I bought a house just to rent out and have secured a renter. It just came to my attention that WiFi is set up beautifully with Ethernet, but no cable line has been ran to any rooms in the house. The cable connection is available from the basement. My tenant wants cable line ran in the living room, so the question is: do I as the owner/landlord pay the cable company for the service to install or does the tenant pay? This is something of a grey area for me because I know the house functions as a rental, but the cable installation will stay with the house and does this potentially increase the value? Please reply with opinions and suggestions for how you’ve delt with this.

@JD Martin yes, I’ve have other priorities to get the houses fixed up. Between tenants I’ll have a chance work more on cabling plans.
