Renter asking for water softener

[Parag D.]

My renter recently complained about hard water and how it is affecting their kid’s hair etc. She has hinted towards requiring a water softener. Water softener installations with material cost $1000+ and ongoing maintenance. What have other landlords done in this regard?

Thanks

@Parag D. Politely tell them this is not an upgrade you will consider at this time. That is a request that is unreasonable in my opinion. The tenant probably knows this and is just asking to see what they can get you to do.
