FWIW: 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 #751122NotCrankyParticipantI like 3
September 4, 2012 at 3:06 PM #751123NotCrankyParticipantNo, I take that back, 2 is good.
September 4, 2012 at 3:15 PM #751124SD RealtorParticipantIf the tenant is good then definitely 3.
September 4, 2012 at 3:28 PM #751126NotCrankyParticipantMight as well be 4 then.
September 4, 2012 at 4:57 PM #751129Diego MamaniParticipantFirst, inform the tenant (that is, 1 and 2). Then, tell him that you give him the choice of 3 or 4.
September 4, 2012 at 8:45 PM #751132RealityParticipantThe 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.
September 5, 2012 at 7:20 AM #751140CoronitaParticipantThanks 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.
September 5, 2012 at 9:21 AM #751146DataAgentParticipantLower the rent by $30 and the tenant can buy their own Internet service. Amend the lease agreement to reflect these changes.
September 5, 2012 at 11:17 AM #751150poorgradstudentParticipantWhere can I get me some $25 internet? Is that AOL dial-up?
