ParticipantFWIW: never been in this situation. BUT, if even if I had a rental that had an HOA that provided internet for free, I would have said on the contract. Internet service not included anayway…..And then tell him/her verbally the hoa currently provides internet, but I don’t know how much longer.

Lol.. It’s not a choice between 1,2,3,4 🙂September 4, 2012 at 3:02 PM #751122NotCranky
ParticipantI like 3
September 4, 2012 at 3:06 PM #751123NotCranky
ParticipantNo, I take that back, 2 is good.

ParticipantIf the tenant is good then definitely 3.
September 4, 2012 at 3:28 PM #751126NotCranky
ParticipantMight as well be 4 then.

ParticipantFirst, inform the tenant (that is, 1 and 2). Then, tell him that you give him the choice of 3 or 4.

ParticipantThe landlord should pass along the credit to the tenant.

Something we didn’t consider is asking the tenant whether he really uses the Internet. Depending on his age, line of work, etc., he may not use it all.

ParticipantThanks folks. I’ll point my friend to this blog entry.
FWIW: I think I also recommended putting this down on writing, and emphasizing “credit for internet UP to $X amount”…That way, if the cost of internet skyrockets in the future, my friend is only on the hook for $X….

I agree. Good idea.

ParticipantLower the rent by $30 and the tenant can buy their own Internet service. Amend the lease agreement to reflect these changes.

ParticipantWhere can I get me some $25 internet? Is that AOL dial-up?
