Potential new tenant asks to install alarm system
I am in the process of processing application for a new tenant in my condo. So far the tenant passed the background check and we are scheduling time to sign the lease.
During our recent conversation, the prospect asked me if it is OK if she installs alarm system on the property.
I was wondering if:
- should I let her install the alarm system?
- how to modify contract to ensure it is installed professionally and that I do not owe her anything upon termination of lease?
- how to modify contract to ensure I have the alarm system code on hand allow access when needed?
Personally, I do not have problem the system being installed if it is done at her cost and if it is done right, and if I owe her nothing whenever she decides to move out. From my perspective, I should have access to the alarm code for the same reason I am allowed to enter the property (emergency, future showings etc).
