Exteding lease to my tenant but she requested few conditions

[Tina Lee]

Hi all,

I am extending one year lease to my tenant with not increase at all. I thought she will appreciated.

Instead she mention , I will resign only if you do following few things

Door belt to be fixed. Which could be easy to fix or depends the building if is connect to the whole building system it could be very complicate.

And others small issues she mention.

I did not like how she doesn’t appreciated my no rent increase lease instead she requested few thing to repair as to resign the lease.

I would gladly to fix those things just don’t think is right way for her to mention as a condition to resign the lease.

Can I tell her I decide now to extend one year lease with $50 increase and I can’t guarantee to meet her request of conditions? Which is the best way to approach. I personally dislike how she ask to resign the lease under conditions.

Most tenants won't appreciate no increase.  If there are repairs to be done, they should be done independent of the lease renewal.  Look at the list and see what are things that need to be fixed and what is her 'wish list'.  Tell her that you will repair the items, however, there will be a X% increase in the rent to keep up with increased costs.  Just do a remote door bell-the part by the door is battery operated and inside, there is a unit that plugs into an electrical outlet.
