My tenant is incredibly demanding and I’ve reached an ethical conundrum. Please help.
Over the last year, we’ve argued over the following:
1) He’s wanted a new dishwasher despite the current one working perfectly. He just lets food harden on plates and expects the dishwasher to be magic.
2) He filed official reports about the furnace not working when he just needed to turn it on and off once a year in the spring as instructed. I had to pay a technician to go there and (continued…..)

Why would you renew their lease? This isn’t UNICEF.

Does your lease and/or state have a mandatory notice period for raised rents? If so, be sure to abide by those.

Deny their request and they have the options to not renew if they are not happy. Add a provision in the lease agreement next time that you will only fix certain things above a threshold
