My mum is in her 80s, very capable and competent. A few years ago she moved in with her partner and let out her home. She had one set of tenants for the first few years, no problems. They moved out in the summer so she now has new tenants. All done through a local letting agent.
Her bungalow is in very good condition, well maintained but slightly dated. Since the new tenants have moved in they've asked for some minor changes. - bathroom cabinet to be moved to a different wall, internal glazed door to be changed to a solid one - which mum has happily agreed to and paid for
It transpires that they have now proposed (and mum has agreed) to replace all the kitchen cabinet doors at their expense, not mums. The doors are fine, solid wood, nothing is broken but they are dated.
I have no idea how much this is going to cost the tenants. The kitchen is quite big with a few integrated appliances, so it won't be cheap. The kitchen isn't going to be updated in any other way apart from being painted a colour of the tenants choice which my mum has agreed to pay for as it hasn't been done for a few years
Obviously it's none of my business, but I don't think my mum should be agreeing to the tenants choosing and paying for the new kitchen doors. What happens if mum wants them to leave shortly afterwards if she needs to return to the property? Would she have to repay them the money for the doors? I really think she's making a mistake.
So
YABU - it's none of my business and I should let mum get on with it
YANBU. - you need to try to persuade her not to allow this
