Great Idea, maybe counter with 200 off rent month to month while waiting for a unit to open meeting her needs and her budget. Great learning experience. Thanks to the beautiful people this will be turned into a positive experience.

Update: After searching frantically for 1 week to find a rental, (scarce) I was told by my daughter that they wanted to stay and thus proposed a counter off based on some advice from beautiful posters here. The counter offer, presented in writing yesterday at noon had 3 requests:
Give them 4 -1 year options to renew the lease at the reduced $100 off (offered by landlord who refused to install air or get quotes) ($6000 savings over present lease terms if full 60 months utilized)
Give them permission to upgrade furnace and add central air if they so decide.
This would help with the cost of 4 grand they would pay to improve the landlords townhouse.
We wait, and have until 3rd to pay rent due yesterday. I think I will keep looking for plan “B” .
They are out moving expenses, 3 weeks of rent in old place due to new place requiring immediate move in as well as stress for a 7 month pregnant gal working full time to achieve their dream. God bless the posters that take time to help another here. Motown

landlord counter offer: 1495 only if signing 3 year lease and we put in air / furnace and he wants a warranty on install? Help needed in Michigan 2 year max lease term, what is limit in Ca? What now?Motown

Is there no AC at all or is it broken?

If it has air installed it’s fixable. I’ll fix it, don’t tell the landlord, and agree to the lower rent. I can swing by Mon. night after work to tell you what’s wrong with it.

If no air is installed the home owners associations isn’t worth dealing with.

God bless you Richard. There is no coil in 1982 furnace. Homeowners association will not give ok since eyesore (condenser on Garage roofs) so after searching and cool weather comming , they are leaning towards taking the rent reduction for the year and portable a/c. Thanks for offer. If they do stay I want to do a heat exchanger leak test and check the gas lines. Please send me a message (private) and I will give you the son in laws number.
He is local 230 as well. Motown
