Matthew Tanis Offering to let tenant out of lease early?
14 November 2020 | 12 replies
: There were screens missing from some of the windows upon move-in which we authorized maintenance to replace (they were backed up several weeks due to COVID shut down), A/C wasn't getting the apartment cold enough even though it had been serviced within the past year (set at 68F during the hottest summer we've had in years in Michigan) and we didn't offer to pay her electric bill, found a bat in the basement x 2 which we had professional pest control there at their first available appointment and they didn't find any evidence of a colony but we had maintenance seal off any areas in the basement that could allow bats in, and now a water leak from upstairs apartment overflowing their toilet onto this tenant's mattress.

We've never had a tenant go to an attorney to draft a letter to us about quality of life and dissatisfaction about living in one of our properties.The best protection is to make sure you are always in compliance with landlord-tenant law and non-discrimination laws for your jurisdiction, follow the terms of the rental agreement, maintain habitable abodes, and do what you can to make sure there are no unaddressed hazards or safety issues.When unforeseen problems occur, such as the HVAC system breaking down, plumbing problems, pest invasion, etc... the minute you become aware of the problem, then do what you need to do to fix the problem in a timely manner.
