Renting a separate garage unit

Good Morning BP! 

I'm looking for some advice on the rental of a garage unit which will be rented to someone who isn't a current tenant at the property. This garage has a half bathroom as well as a small office. 

My question to those of you who are doing something similar: are you using your 'normal' rental agreement with these tenants? Does the eviction process change at all if it becomes necessary? Are your properties being re-zoned as commercial use or mixed use? Or are the zonings not changing? (I know that's a very regional question - this property is in rural NY.) 

Under previous ownership, this space was owner-occupied (he kept his tractor and other tools there.)

Thanks!
