We obtained a rental apartment along the lake upstate and knew that my friend and I would use it for a few weeks out of the year ourselves too.
It would be a great way to have a getaway apartment that paid for itself.
My friend and I made sure to have is furnished with just about everything a renter would need with the exception of their food and linens. My friend and I even obtained kayaks for the lake that they could use. My friend and I only used the apartment in what would be considered the “off season” because my friend and I didn’t want to limit the renters from their choices dring prime getaway times. Since the weather was always mild while my friend and I were there, my friend and I were able to have the windows and doors open. My friend and I seldom used the Heating and Air Conditioning system. If my friend and I did turn on the heat or a/c it was only while my friend and I were sleeping. For this reason, my friend and I never noticed the problem with the windows. My friend and I started getting monthly bills for the utilities during the rental season and couldn’t know how high they were. When my brother went to check it out he found that the Heating and Air Conditioning system was running almost non stop, and he checked the temperature control and it seemed fine. He then noticed a draft in the kitchen and found that the windows were not sealed officially. The Heating and Air Conditioning system was running so tough because the cold air from outside was penetrating the windows. My friend and I called a local contractor to repair the problem and then had the Heating and Air Conditioning system took care of. My friend and I figured it had been working so tough that my friend and I might as well have it tuned up and make sure it wasn’t harmd.
