We don't know if the person doing the repair was insured or licensed. I've replaced capacitors in my condensing unit; it's a piece of cake. $50 for two capacitors. I haven't seen the receipt yet, but I do know that it is over $400. They're good renters and are taking great care of the place, so I don't want to chase them off. They just need some education. Once that kind of thing starts, it can snowball, and they'll be making other unauthorized "repairs" for which we could be liable.

as en ex landlord I 100% agree, too many laws favor the tenants especially here in Cali so I got out of that business
oh but I do miss the rental calls: "How many bathrooms is it"
Me: "One"
Them: "Are you sure, could you go and check"
