Hunt....Poor Helco...and right after I said good things about them...
And why is it Helco's fault that so many trees fell down?? I was without power for 5 days because a neighbor's trees fell o the lines and took out the whole street. These lineguys are absolutely busting their ass to get power restored to as many people as possible as fast as possible.
I have seen many posts on other sites - some from renters saying they can not go a month without power.
Sorry you don't like it Jurassic, but I do not think it is fair to expect your tenants to live without power for a month, act of God or no. If they are without power, that is on you. Sucks, but that is why you get the big fat rent check every month. Because as a landlord you have to deal with stuff. This island is at increased risk for more natural disasters than any other in Hawaii. Did you really think you could buy a property on the cheap, rent it out and NOT have to deal with stuff?
I remember my Dad having to head out on Christmas Day to go fix a tenant's property that had lost power in a winter storm. Was behind his control but still had to deal because the buck stopped with him. Use some of that rent check to go buy a generator.
