Howdy there,
my tenant just asked me whether he could renovate a single garage at their own expense, basically line it internally (it only has timber frames inside & can see the roof), put a floor down (as it currently has road base), take electricity to it, paint it, etc... at his own expense... only catch is that he would like a friend of his that has no $$$ to move in, as he would like to help him out (the house is only a 2 bedder & the tenants being 2 brothers occupy each of the bedrooms)...
I told the tenant that I would get back to them tomorrow if I was to allow them to go ahead... any suggestions?
Do I just let them do it (the tenant is a carpenter/painter & would do the bulk of the work & the person wanting to occupy the garage is an electrician) as they would be improving the house? Any implication for having a person in the garage? Do I ask for more rent?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Manny.
