Frances L. Repair Wait Long Period to comprehend for tenant
1 November 2011 | 12 replies
For tax write off it is beneficial to repair versus replace.So depending on how much rent you would lose you would have to weigh repair versus putting new in.I totally understand if a part is 50 bucks you do not want to spend 600 or more for a new one.Especially if it is not that old.I gave 100 rent credit to a tenant when the A/C was out for a few days.The outside fan motor needed replacement so rather than the A/C guy saying I need a new one at 2 grand we bought the fan motor at a supply house for 60 and fixed it.So 2,000 versus 160 I will take the repair all day long.Especially if you have a property you are planning on selling for development down the road you don't want to drop all new stuff in.Sure a developer will let me strip it out and cash out the parts before they take it down but I want to keep my replacements to as little as possible and only repair.If you do too much the tenant will keep pushing the envelope.If I was in your shoes I would definitely give a credit to the tenant.After you get the part fixed and the credit you are still probably ahead versus replacement in cash outlay.Another consideration is if the water heater goes out on the weekend you might be better giving the credit versus paying for an emergency call and getting hit up with double the fees for everything.

This would work great for this situation as we could change the code when we needed to as well as have different codes for perm employees.Is it possible to just drop one of these on here, is there some other option or do I just need to replace it with exactly what we have and go with a real estate style key lock box mounted on the wall?
