Tenant build a ramp in backyard

[Jaimie Chen]

I will make the story short.  I just found out today my manager agreed (on my behalf) my tenant (a year ago) to build a bmx ramp in back yard.  What should I do? Should I let him build or tear it? He already in the middle of project.  I talked to my tenant over the phone first time today and found out a lot of surprises.  No body like these kind of surprises. 

SFH is on DFW area, has 6ft wooden fence, no HOA.

1st, fire manager. take over the job and meet tenant. 

2nd, ?

Any suggestion?

If you let it go forward, he and/or you may need a special insurance rider to cover this. If thats the case then you should do and addendum to the lease requiring him to have the insurance and show you proof etc. If you have to obtain it then require he pay the premium. Also put in that he is responsible to remove it and restore the yard at the end of the lease.

I would also fire the property manager.
