Heating is a basic habitability standard in cold climates, but in most areas air conditioning is not.

Partly because it is business and partly because I want them to be able to keep their lives together in this disastrous climate.

I would much rather keep things the same then deal with new tenants during this economic climate.

We normally use 20 dollars per bedroom per month here or 50 dollars per unit whichever is greater, but there are many factors from climate to how well the property is insulated to the effiency rating of the boiler.

It isn’t enough to just have money, or to retire early, or to live in a warm climate, which are all my goals (I am retiring and moving to Florida in the fall of 2023).

I suppose the same could be said for really hot climates.  

Risky to be over-leveraged in any economic climate, the only potential upside is that the U.S. government could suspend mortgage payments temporarily (Italy already did this!).

To not only lose that situation, but add a turnover and vacancy cost, additionally during the current climate is a poor financial move.

Even in a dry climate, any increase in humidity is misery to me - west coast kid here.

It's just a matter of increasing population, globalization, increased habitat destruction, climate change, and exposure to disease vectors.
