what can I do? house HVAC broken, ordered a new one $8K.now

Now renter said he is without heat for 18 days. He will deduct 18 day rent for this month's rent.  Do you think it is reasonable?  I am also afraid he will tell to other tenants and other tenants will follow his footstep.  He likes to talk around.  Any good idea how to deal with he?

• 租户要求赔偿是正常的、可以商量各让一步，免期间的部分（50%？）房租怎么样？ -ctrls- ♂ (0 bytes) () 03/04/2024 postreply 16:36:00

• 什么原因18天没修好？暖气这事可大可小，北方还是南方。发生的故事以及你房客真正的意图，决定你现在怎么处理更好。 -守月- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/04/2024 postreply 16:51:10

• 如果你觉得是自己处理得不够好，这事就算翻篇了。如果你尽力在维修，是房客想占便宜，租约到期多涨点房租就是了。 -守月- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/05/2024 postreply 04:52:45

• 你下次不要这样操作。一般来说，暖气坏掉，只要房东有即时提供临时电暖，然后 -MrsKwok- ♀ (160 bytes) () 03/04/2024 postreply 17:31:01
