I agree that there is room for negotiation here. Since the renovation is still in the future, you could guarantee them right now, that they will not have to pay for 4 days of rent, and then you will both discuss a final amount after the work is done, and all their personal items are put back where they were before. Remember, there are many unexpected things that can happen once a renovation has started, that you or your Ts may have no control over. So both of you need to agree to wait till the job is done for a final agreement. Do not bring up the under-market rent, unless they threaten to move. They must discover that for themselves.

Thanks for your advice and help. I won't be contacting them again until closer to the date. I don't know these people but I understand they are nice and have been good renters for several years and one full year left to go and they are from out of state. I have no intension of telling them that they are paying under market i'm guessing the know. I don't think I even want to tell them about the prorated rent for 4 days until after the project and I am possibly willing to split the 12 days and meet in the middle at six if that. So you think the 4 to six days is reasonable? I have been a renter years ago and had to experience some stuff but never asked for prorate... I mean as tenants isn't it reasonable and expected that sometime during your/their tenancy that things could come up and we/they have to experience some inconvenience without being compensated?? Am I wrong? I think this situation is likely being beefed up more then necessary in anticipation of the unknown. I don't think this is a situation because they have to move some furniture and personal belongings around temporarily that it would be a reason for them to withhold rent. I'm starting to over think this, I think? Advice opinion What is your experience as a landlord?

Oh and G I really don't think there is any negotiation necessary, I mean technically and legally I don't have to do anything and I'd love to convey that to them, but because I would like to make things to go a bit smoother I am willing to give them something and or meet them half way. We are all being inconvenienced to a certain extent here physically and or financially. Also they are requesting not demanding a rent cut
