Is this a reasonable request to Tenant?
My (excellent) tenant , and 2 sm dogs have been in the house five years without any issues .
I asked her to get the heating and clothes dryer vents professionally cleaned ($300?)
She said she will do it herself, but that is not possible to do thoroughly .
Do you ask your tenants to pay to keep the vents clean ?
i’m about to write up a new lease and would like to include this- is it fair?
Thanks very much !

This is a maintenance item that you should take care of if you want it done. I'd never ask a tenant to do this on their dime.
