Has a tenant ever asked you install a garbage disposal, an AC or some other unnecessary appliance in their apartment? Well, I get asked all the time for different things, and a lot of time I think it is to your benefit to reject some requests. For example, you are not required to install a garbage disposal in your tenant's unit. If you choose to do so however, you can. But keep in mind that once you install it, it becomes your responsibility to maintain. So, not only did you spent money to put it in the unit, now you are also setting yourself up for more maintenance cost. If it breaks, you can't leave it broken, because you will receive a million complainants. So, sometimes it is better to reject the request.
