I certaintly would not,if they think you should then charge them for it --72.231.xxx.xxx

I would install an automatic door closer to the door will stay closed and latched/locked. If the door serves a purpose, they why remove it? --47.156.xx.xx

Robert, the door has an automatic door closer but he keeps it open, it used to have a chain and he removed it. --172.58.xxx.xx

Ken, I am the one who wants to remove it, because I don't want to keep replacing the storm door every time the wind blows it away. --172.58.xxx.xx

--184.53.x.xxx

Bill you tenant for the missing door and do not replace it. --173.20.xxx.xxx

Can you bill and not replace? --24.61.xxx.xx

We got out of the storm door business several years ago: we were fixing/replacing them every year somewhere! No more. --50.82.xxx.xx

In MA we do not have to provide a storm door. We do have to provide a screen door for any door that opens from an individual unit to the outdoors. We also must provide & maintain screens for any window that opens. These requirements apply to all rental units on the first four floors of a building. The screens must be in place between April 1 and October 30 each year. To help lessen the chance of having wind damage, I add a second closer to most of my storm doors. FYI most better storms like the Anderson 4000 full view series come with an upper & a lower closer. However unless it's a really nice rental most LLs don't want to spend $3-400.00 for a storm door. --96.237.xx.xx

We don't maintain storm doors. When we get a call about one-- first words out of our mouth--- the last tenant installed this and we don't maintain this. We promptly remove. --99.103.xxx.xxx

Those strong door closers are sometimes too hard for smaller kids to open, leaving a child crying outside, or, if not adjusted, close too quickly on little kids, catching their feet as they come inside. And, if the exterior door ISN’T a proper exterior door, like all the hollow core doors that were on my own home, there can be lots of different expansions of door jambs with the cold/ hot weather changes. We still need to remodel our entry door on our own home to fix the chronic storm door issues. I am thinking of ordering a wooden storm door when we do. I have had much better success with wooden ones. I don’t mind the chains, but I hate the closers! --70.92.xxx.xxx

You could remove the door to have it repaired and just forget to put it back up.. or take too long to do it. (wink wink). If prevailing wind is the direction that opens the door, install it with the hinge on the side so the wind closes it. But if the tenant damaged it (especially more than once) then charge them. --108.4.xxx.xx

I don't provide them. It's bad enough that I have to replace the entire screen and frame on the sliding doors without having to replace all the storm doors and screen doors. --98.146.xxx.xxx

But generally, storm doors and screen doors won't survive tenant treatment, often not lasting a full year, and I've got good tenants in my rentals and they still break the storm doors. --98.146.xxx.xxx

If your local or state codes allow you to remove it then send the tenant a notice that it will be removed when you sign the next lease with this tenant. If they are month to month than give them a thirty day notice and remove it. Summer winds and winter winds are stronger from different directions. --173.61.xxx.xx

I remove them when they break and don't replace them. Inevitably the closer gets damaged and/or the bracket rips out of the frame. Unnecessary maintenance item. --173.66.xxx.x
