New tenant wants to hang big pot/pan rack above kitchen counter
A new tenant just moved into my rental house (year lease signed). He asked if he could hang a rack above the kitchen counter to hang pots and pans on it. I told him I need to think about it. Am I being unreasonable if I tell him he cant? I know this rack needs to be fastened into the trusses or brackets tied to the trusses. I just finished doing a really good paint job on the whole house , and feel if they leave in a year its going to leave 4 massive holes in the ceiling which will need to be filled and now the whole ceiling will need repainting.
I almost want to say if you want to hang it, its going to be a professional person go in the attic and add in proper bracing to hold the rack (at renters expense) and when you leave the rack stays.
What would you do?
