Recently (last week)  i added door sweeps, weather strips to all exterior doors and door sweeps to all interior doors which needed them, bought them plastic to install over (new) windows. and have scheduled to get the furnace cleaned professionallyThe market rate of the apartment is 875 and i  am renting it to them for 800 should i be concerned that they are upset about high electric bills,  given i have done more than a slum lord to ensure they are happy and they are 75 dollars under market rat?
