Do I need a sprinkler system for my rental?
Hello All,
I am purchasing my very first rental. I am excited and I am sure I will have more questions in the near future for you seasoned landlords. The house that I am buying currently does not have a sprinkler system. I live in Dallas, TX where the ground gets very dry in the Summer. Should I install a sprinkler system or let it be? If I do install, do I set it up on an automatic timer, assuming tenant wont mess with it? Would tenant get mad that the water bill is higher due to the sprinkler system? Should I disclose it in my lease that it is necessary for the upkeep of the property, etc? Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Hollar.
P.S. While I have your attention..how do I do the mention to someone in a post where it tags/highlights their name? I try to do @......but it doesnt seem to work. Please let me know so I can respond to people and they know I am responding to them.
