It seems the norm for the neighborhood is not to install them for tenants.

One way is to install a thermostat that reminds the tenants to replace the filter.

I’m as well considering the old lady, though I’m still concerning about if my house is required to equipped with safety features for senior tenants, such as handle needed installed over bathtub and others that I’m not aware of.

Maybe there's still hope for this deal.I would not want to install a freestanding dishwasher, that would just lead to headaches.

i watch flip this house, flip that house, property ladder, holmes, the kitchen and bath and house crashers on DIY.

Julia Rowling its SOP  (standard operating procedures) to not put any appliance's in these homes until the tenant moves in.. same with HVAC some times  condenser unit water heater etc etc.If you install them new and leave them for any length of time they will get stolen nearly 100% of the  time... this is why I have said many times that these types of investments just are not appropriate for anyone who does not do this for a living...
