AC expectation in Rental
I have a single family three-bed two-bath home that is 1554 square feet . I did not upgrade the AC when I renovated the home. I'm renting it out and I have really great tenants. The only problem is that the AC is too small for the house . At the same time it's cooling well and functioning as it should. Going by the 20 degree rule it's working just fine. However it gets to be a hundred to 104 where I am . My tenants want to keep the house at 70 to 73° at all times regardless of the heat outside. They now want me to upgrade the AC which will cost quite a bit of money. I want to keep the tenants but the investment to upgrade is quite significant. I have to decide whether to upgrade at a price tag of around 8 to $10,000 or tell them no. Thoughts?

@Jennifer Green Tell them to get window units for the areas of their concern. Your AC sounds like it is doing its job. If they want it cooler, they can get a window unit. If you're feeling really nice you can buy it for them. I do understand not wanting to lose great tenants.
