Tenant and Repairs. Should I?

[Ryan Young]

I recently closed on my first property and the tenants are already wanting to do a few repairs at the house. The husband is a “handy-man” and would like to do the repairs himself and for me to reimburse him for the materials. It sounds like not too bad of an idea but would I be opening up a scenario that may turn sour later? I told him to run everything by me first and he needs my verbal permission to continue. The first repair he wants to do is to fix the 3 ceiling fans throughout the house. 2 of them don’t have power going to them and 1 is broken. Should I allow him to repair/replace these fans or no? I believe this is a smart plan for things that would help improve the property. Any insight on this would be great! Thanks
