Usually interior doors swing into the room. What other doors did it interfere with? I would install a door if they requested it because it's a reasonable request and an expectation in most situations. ie, they're not asking you to change the countertops to granite, they just want a door on a room that would typically have a door on it. I'd figure out a way to make it happen.

Yeah I think this one swung out and hit something, not so much interfering with doors. The other doors in that same hallway swing inward. I don't remember her exact issue, to be honest. I looked at it at the time the sellers mentioned it, but it's been quite a while since then and I didn't mention in my notes, unfortunately. Sorry I can't be more precise.

I'm a little worried they'll hate it after it's installed because of the issues the owners mentioned, but frankly that's a bridge I'll have to cross when I come to it. 

Not sure how to mark a topic as resolved on this site. For reference to anyone else coming into this thread, I've already scheduled the door installation, but thanks for input!

Why no door in the first place?

The previous owners found having a door there was a problem due to the way the rooms were situated in the hallway. They removed the door years ago and told us when we purchased that it might be best to leave it off anyway.

We've had tenants in this place previously, and one of the tenants actually said they preferred it without.

I leased a 4-bed, 2-bath to renters. At the time, the fourth bedroom had no door hung in the door frame. It has a closet, and two means of egress (another door at the back of the room opens to the garage).

Now, after a month of living in the space without mentioning the door, they want a door hung and they want me to pay for it. 

When we replied that they could hang the door at their cost and just make sure the home is returned to it's original condition at move-out, they got really insistent and declared to my secretary that they're "not having this argument" with her. 

I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong if I refuse.
