Evaporative won't work in Brisabane... too much humidity. I still wouldn't put air into all the bedrooms. It is very rare for us to need to sleep with the air on. Less than five times a year personally.

Most of the place we manage have one air-con in the main living rooms. This does push through into bedrooms because they run off the living room. It has never been asked of us, but if it was, we would look at putting in a small split in the main bedroom. I think the PM suggesting each bedroom...

Cheeky tenant :eek You could say rent will be going up $10 without the added air-con or $20 with it. Be prepared she might leave. That means losing at least one week's rent. Maybe put in the air-con and agree to increase by $15.

I misunderstood. I see what you are asking. I guess tenants take the chance that the house ticks most of their boxes so they sign up in the hope they may be able to negotiate having air added for extra rent, or even better, for no extra rent. If landlord says "no" then I guess that is a...

I was home most of last week, and it was hot, but I was working on our back patio. There was some breeze, not that cool though. I was warm, but it didn't feel like anywhere near 40, so I googled to find this... http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/australia/brisbane/historic Doesn't seem to have...

Do what DaveM says. We do what we want to increase the attractiveness and often do this when we know a tenant is leaving, knowing we can bump up the rent by more than the cost of the air-con or security screen we are putting in. For a sitting tenant, I would offer to do it in exchange for...
