I have just bought a unit which I am renovating and will be ready for rent in a couple of weeks. It has a double garage and they are divided by a brick wall (ie) they are completely separate from each other. In order to maximise my return I am aiming to offer the right tenant the following. If they want to rent the unit and one garage they can have it for $ X,XX Per week
I then want to say them that if they want the extra garage they can have it for $ X,XX + an extra $30 Per week. If they say I only want 1 garage I will tell them that the other will be advertised as storage. So my question is:
1. Is there any illiegal about this? ie Can I have 2 leases on the one unit?
2. If I rent out the 2nd garage separately for storage, will the main tenant complain that the electricity (although small) being used by the storage user is being billed to them ('cause it is)?I figure that if I offer these scenarios to the tenant, at least they can't come back later and say" Why did you not give the 2nd garage?"
Why is everyone's opinion on this(especially the electricity issue). Does someone have a different approach?
Thanks
