Q: I sent techs to for repairs on my rental property. Is the tenant responsible to meet with techs to address the issues
I sent a technician out to work on the ac unit. My tenant did not meet with the technician to explain the issues with the ac unit. I’ve had 3 technicians go out to service the unit and they said it’s minor leak and replaced the coolant and compressors. My tenant said it’s not working but didn’t explain to the technician what the issue is, so tenant feels as though the issue was not resolved. What is the tenants responsibility here?
A: The tenant’s responsibility is to report the problem to the landlord and to give the landlord a reasonable time to make the necessary repairs.
