If not how come?
I'm thinking about asking my landlord. Oils just getting scary. Eta I worded it poorly. I didn't really mean doing it myself. How much more would the insurance be? I wouldn't even be apposed to paying for it or the installation. My question was more focused on having a wood stove in the house. |
|
depends on the tenant, i suppose.
i wouldn't trust most tenants to do it right. |
|
I wouldn't let a tenant install anything more complicated than a hanging picture frame.
|
|
Absolutely not.
People too stupid to have a live fire inside a house. At the very least I'd be installing a stove of my choice with an installer of my choice. |
|
If it were professionally installed and my insurance company was okay with it, sure.
|
|
If the tenant was using an insured installer and got a fire inspection, no problem. Not a DIY job, just for insurance reasons.
I know a guy that lives in a 4 story multi family unit in Medford, MA, and the has one on the 4th floor. Hauls wood up from the balcony with a pulley system. Probably the only wood stove in Medford! |

Not only no but fuck no. Not only Increases homeowners but too many dumb fucks out there.
Sorry, no. |
|
|
Thats a negative ghost rider the pattern is full.
Last thingI need is my property burned down to the ground. The less my tenant does to the.property other than pay rent the better off I am. |
|
Might be cheaper to plug in space heaters in the rooms you use than buying heating oil these days.
Which one's a bigger fire risk? |
|
The vast majority of renters are not too fucking bright so fuck no.
|
|
|
Sure. As long as the tenant pays a licensed and insured installer. Pays my extra insurance and is ok with a rent increase.
|
|
May as well let them take out a wall or two while you're at it, you know really open up the kitchen area

I'd required he pay the average of three contractors quotes, I sign the contract for the installation with the installer of my choice, and he receive no value from it when he leaves. He'd also have to renew his lease.
And I'd probably only allow a pellet stove. Kharn |
|
Absolutely not, insurance also has to be modified to cover a wood stove.
|
|
No. Do not let them do that. Edit. You better get a pro to do it.
|
|
Use the oil burner to keep the whole house at a minimum bearable temp.
Use oil-filled electric space heaters to warm the rooms you use the most. |
|
The existing chimney likely isn't lined properly for wood burning. A proper stainless liner and or inspection is needed.
|
|
Keep in mind you cannot vent solid fuel and gaseous fuel in the same chimney. You need a separate chamber solely for the wood stove.
|
|
|
Depends. Wouldn’t be against it but there’s liability to consider.
|
|
If I was a landlord I wouldn’t have have a fireplace or wood stove. If I could get by without a range or oven I wouldn’t allow those either.
People are idiots. I don’t like idiots and fire together on my property. |

I thought the EPA was twisting homeowners insurance into not insuring new installs..?
Swear I read that 10 years ago when we built my house and installed one. |
