Tenant wanting to do bathroom renovation?
Hi All,
I am a relatively new landlord. I have a duplex in NH and the new tenant has asked if she could do renovation in the bathroom in her unit. She wants to either move the toilet from one side of the bathroom to the other, OR swap out the vanity for a pedestal sink. I believe that this would improve the space for future tenants, but my first inclination is that this is too complicated and opens up a "can of worms". She has said she'd be willing to spend up to $1000 (her money and not be reimbursed) on the work, including fixing the laminate on the floor, painting the wall, etc.
Does anyone think this is a reasonable thing to let a tenant do? or are there legal issues I'm not aware of that could affect me?
thank you for all advice!
Leah
