Hi,
Would appreciate how you would deal with a request from a tenant to have shelves fitted in the property whose belongings have outgrown their room.
1. Push back on the grounds that its outwith the obligations of a landlord to resolve their storage problems and because it may lead to further requests to change fixtures, fittings and furniture going forward
2. Agree to request for the sake of tenant relations and install them yourselves so you know they will be fitted well
3. Consent to the tenant purchasing and arranging the install of the shelves at their own expense and reminding them that any damage caused by a poor install could affect the deposit
I imagine that I will get a range of responses across options 1 to 3 but would appreciate any feedback
thanks
