Does the owner pay you to do it annually, every three years, or at all. Whatever you contract to do is what you do. You use the appropriate form and if it's a due item you mark it as not done, or if it fails.... If he doesn't want to pay for any part you handle it the same way. it's his responsibility to have things done. It's yours to do what he asks you to do. You can advise him but ultimately it's his prerogative to take or leave your advice.
