Renter's baked goods business

John Jasko
Posted

My renter (LTR) in Ohio is making cakes, cookies, etc in my rental home and selling to a local coffee shop, which then sells the items to customers.   I am wondering if I have any liability exposure with her essentially running this business out of the kitchen in my home.  Anyone have any experience with something like this?

How big is the scale? I wouldn't be too concerned if it's just a side hustle and the tenant pays the utilities. I wouldn't address it unless the scale is massive and hurting the kitchen. The turnover/vacancy cost of getting a new tenant doesn't seem worth it.
