Hi all,
I recieved my property inspection report yesterday from my PM which had a note stating that the tenant said it is too hot in summer. It just wondering what options I have to tackle this:
1) Install evaporative cooling throughout the house (most expensive option) and charge extra rent for it. $20pw extra perhaps? Is this too much? Can this be done in the middle of a rental agreement. The lease is not up till November.
2) Install a unit in just the main lounge area (not as expensive) and charge extra rent for it. $10pw extra perhaps? Again, can this be done in the middle of a rental agreement. The lease is not up till November.
3) Put up a sun sail over the paved area where most of the heat would be coming in from
4) Put up some external bamboo blinds on the main windows where the arvo sun is coming in from
5) Do nothing as technically the tenant hasnt directly complained to the PM. It was jsut a comment on the quarterly inspection report.
6) Any other suggestions?
With summer being pretty much over now, what would you all do in this situation?
