Locking backyard of Owner Occupied multifamily?

[Thomas Hickey]

Hello All,

I am an owner occupant of a 4 family that I bought about a year ago. It has a small backyard. I am considering locking the backyard for my use only.

~Currently it it not used by any tenants.

~Tenants will not need access to anything back there.

~It's current condition is very poor

~I would like to fix it up and keep it locked for myself to enjoy and storage of a few things

Have any of you done similar things/ or see any problems with this?

Thanks!
