Per this link: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5321.04"Supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and reasonable heat at all times, except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or the dwelling unit is so constructed that heat or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection".You're still supplying it, they just don't have access to change it.

It may be an ok price if he is cracking in to make a second pit and pump and hard piping it out separately or with the current outflow...I am not sure if you are planning to drop in the battery powered pump when power goes out (which seems odd if you were away, defeats purpose) or if he has a second pump put in  and it is on standby (maybe by elevation or overflow, I am not a plumber..

@Naseer Khan you may be right but it was my interpretation of the CA LLC law below (bolded for the citation I am referring to):Under California law, all LLCs are required to annually file a California tax return and pay at least an $800 California franchise tax if they: Engage in any transaction in California for the purpose of financial gain or profit.Are incorporated or organized in California.Have qualified or registered to do business in California.Are “doing business” in California, whether or not they incorporated, organized, qualified or registered under California law.The Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) takes the position that an LLC organized in a jurisdiction outside California is nevertheless “doing business” in California if: It is a member of an LLC that does business in California.It is a general partner in a partnership that does business in California.Any of the LLC’s members, managers, or other agents conducts business in California on behalf of the LLC.In addition, an out-of-state LLC is “doing business” in California if: The LLC is commercially domiciled in California (i.e., California is the place where realistic control of the LLC’s functions is centered).Sales, including sales by the LLC’s agents and independent contractors, in California exceed the lesser of $500,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total sales.Real or tangible property of the LLC in California exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total real and tangible property.The amount paid in California by the LLC for compensation exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the total compensation paid by the LLC

Most of my properties have accordian style sliders so pretty easy but one house has those heavy panels that one took a good 3 hours as the tenant apparently used some of the panels and attached them to wood fence gates to stop his dog from passing below, and a few other panels for other purposes. 

They would gladly accept any net power we generate above our consumption, but it would be a poor business decision to install a photovoltaic array for that purpose.
