Handy Tenants: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
I have a new tenant that works for a construction company. He seems pretty laid back and easy going. Has mentioned a few times about him taking care of this and that. For example, he volunteered to hang a spice rack in the kitchen pantry that I have not had time yet to install.
Is this a good idea or bad idea? On one hand, I like that a tenant is self-sufficient and doesn't need me to come change a light bulb. On the other hand, I don't want to set a precedent that he can start making general repairs at his own discretion. Thoughts on this?
