What to do with run-down workshop on rental property
I have a rental property that has a workshop in the yard. It is basically dilapidated, with multiple leaks, rotting floor, doors don't latch, etc.
My question is what should I do with this building. I don't want to spend money to fix it up. Ideally it would be available for the tenants' use as a storage building.
I just don't want the new tenants to move in and then start demanding that the building be fixed up.
Should I padlock it and make it off-limits to the tenants? Tear it down?
Thanks!!
