Tenant requrest for furnace/humidifier sytem

I own a duplex and one of the Tenants called and asked me if he could install a humidifier system onto the furnace.  He says he has sinus issues and needs this system so he can sleep at night.  Our lease states that any improvements to the apartment must be approved by the LL. 

Do any of you see a problem with him doing this?  He will have to pay for a professional to install this system.

I would suggest the tenant purchase a room (or whole house if they prefer) stand-alone humidifier and use that.

You can install a humidifier on the plenum of the furnace, they do work, but are another maintenance item (so they do not grow fur during the off season) and, if not functioning correctly, cleaning-up after them can be arduous.   We typically remove these when we encounter them.
