Here are some ways to do it if the tenant wants to and you are ok with it:a) split the cost with tenant 50/50b) increase rent $x/month so that your investment in the new appliances is paid off after y years.c) a combination of strategies a and b.Tip: The new fridge should not have an ice maker or water hookup of any kind.Another tip: Big box stores always have a sale and offer 5% off credit card.

Introduce yourself "Hi, my name is X, we received an application from Y where they indicated you as a personal reference.

Partnerships always start of great BUT will always have hard times and UNLESS you have everything written down on the steps if X to Y happen then you won't know how the other party will react.Money always changes people also, so IF you can go at it on your own do that instead. 

Also, be sure to have multiple car dash cams, and ring cameras in every room.Don't ever go in the same room alone, never close the front door or any door in the house, never look her in eye, for goodness sake never make any comments about her clothers, hair, appearance......depending on what specific things listed above, you think are a joke or good common sense, will determine your level of neuroticism about the topic and should probably let you know if you have right mind set for the leasing agent job...jus sayin

In a perfect world the masses in the industry would do X,Y,Z but I deal in the real world how things really happen.

Some emerging markets along that stretch may be towns like San Marcos: in the triangle, college town, strong population growth, not Austin-y house prices.
