I wouldn’t recommend agreeing to reimburse, as it could lead to a wave of additional reimbursement requests. The tenant chose to use a hot spot rather than opting for a location with free Wi-Fi. Good luck & happy investing!

If there's clear evidence of tenant misuse or negligence, I would proceed with charging the tenant. However, it doesn’t seem like the tenant is at fault for the issues you described. A good vendor will often provide insights and a documented professional opinion, which can serve as third-party confirmation. This documentation will be helpful if you ultimately decide to charge the tenant for repairs. Good luck & happy investing!

Hi there! A great resource to explore would be the NARPM accounting standards.

I would split the cost with the tenant as it benefits you both. The good faith gesture will go far. Good luck & happy investing!

Hi Madelyn,

I recommend checking out a company called PointCentral. They offer a range of options for monitoring vacant properties, including some handy sensors that attach to water heaters and alert you if water is detected in the drip pan. Definitely worth a look. Good luck & happy investing!

Hi Greg, I am curious what Hemlane had to say when you let them know? I had not heard of this before. Sorry you are dealing with this mess. 

I would bill the tenant for any charges incurred due to the lease agreement violation. Good luck with this one!
