 lol! He asked how often people are mowing their lawns, not "how do I manage lawn mowing for 100 units?"

Interesting. Lakewood is too hot for me to be interested anyway, but I'd love Cleveland Heights to follow suit.

The wording is interesting. It sounds like they're leaving it in place for normal residential sales? Or did they already not have POS for homeowners?

I have a local kid do it. Whenever his dad gets him to mow their lawn, he also mows mine.

Works out to about every 1-2 weeks depending on how much rain and heat we've been getting.

I don't think the tenant is being unreasonable. I made a mistake, but I also didn't put AC on the ad or the lease. I'm getting them window units, as I have said numerous times at this point. 

There are people here suggesting that I say it was a misunderstanding and tell them to buy it themselves, which I really don't think is okay, and then other people who seem to think I'm a slumlord to even bother checking whether I guaranteed AC in the lease. 

Interesting to watch although it would be nice to stop getting jumped on.

 I actually have quite a few units where there is no AC which still get rented out pretty quickly. Make sure to tell folks that they are welcome to use window units. I feel really bad that in this case I was wrong about the features.

I'll be buying a couple window units for the property.

 No need to attack me, as I posted above I'm not interested in brushing them off. I'm buying them some window units.

Thanks for the input, folks. I'm not interested in brushing them off or telling them to buy it themselves, but also not interested in letting them out of the lease. Right thing to do is to keep this pregnant lady cool, one way or another.

Shopping for a couple window units!

Nope it's a pretty basic residential furnace. Nothing odd.

I rented out one of my properties a couple months ago. I vaguely remember that I thought there was central air in this one because I had glanced at the thermostat and it had a "cool" option (yeah, they all start to blend together) and that I mentioned this on a couple of the tours.

I must have mentioned it when the people who became my tenants took the place, because I just got a text saying the central air isn't working. (It's very hot in Cleveland right now.) Thinking about it now, I don't think that house actually does have central air. I think it just has a thermostat with a "cool" option. D'oh.

Tenant's text says "we're paying for central air" which isn't really true, they're paying a pretty reasonable rent for the area. I also checked their lease and AC isn't listed as something I provide on it. But I don't want to be a jerk. And they're generally good tenants.

What would you do?

Commenting purely to get updates on this thread. I get direct mail from other investors all the time, often on multifamilies I bought only a few months before. (Easy info to access on auditor site.) I'm interested to see why they're targeting my properties.
