Too Nice Of A Landlord

[Guevara M.]

The topic came up between my fiancé and I and got me questioning myself if I'm doing more than I should be as a landlord.  I rent a small 1 bed/1 bath unit to a young lady who moved from out of state.  She has no family here.  She's been a great tenant and always pays on time.  Her job has her gone from home a lot of times either off shore or just out of town and when she is gone she will ask me if I can stop by the unit to check up on it or grab her packages or adjust her thermostat so the a/c is running like crazy.  The property is only about 5 minutes from my home so I really don't have any issue in doing it but my fiancé has asked why am I'm doing these things if they are not on our lease agreement.  I look at it as providing good customer service considering she has paid on time without any issues.  Her lease is coming up in a few months and I'm hoping that she will stick around on a month to month basis.  She keeps the unit really clean and straight.  So my thinking is that if I can help her out then maybe that will help to keep her in my unit.  But if this is something I shouldn't be doing then I'd like to know and fix it. 

Also, since the lease is between my tenant and I would it be an issue if I had allowed my fiancé to go check on the unit if I am not available?  Not sure if I could get in trouble by a legal standpoint considering she is not part of the lease agreement.
