Tenant issue-- would love helpful suggestions

[Megan Stone]

We purschsed a triplex with an existing tenant in one of the homes. Her lease ends in Late January. We need to repair the siding, paint the home and replace her windows. This project will take 2-3 weeks. We will only be in her unit intermittently for a couple days as needed for the windows. She will have about 8-12 days of disrupted weekday time.

she is very upset because she work from home and her dog barks constantly anytime there is anyone hear her property. She requested to leave her lease 2months early because of this. I did let her know that the fact that she work from home and her dog barks constantly is really not my problem to solve, but Im trying to meet her in the middle.

I offered to split the cost of a private worskspace near her home (if will cost her about $200 total). She said she shouldnt have to pay. She wont use a doggy daycare. 

any ideas, suggestion???

Thank you!

Shes absolutely correct she shouldnt have to pay. 12 days, thats nearly half the month. That is far too long to disrupt your tenants lives.
