Tenant Let Contractors onto Property Unannounced
Hi All,
Have a little bit of a weird situation that i was hoping to get some insight on- One of my tenants at my duplex reached out to me about an hour ago, stating that National Grid was at our property exchanging gas meters with new ones- Once National Grid was done, they re-started everything & now my hot water tank didn't turn back on. (I never scheduled anything with National Grid or ever spoke with them)
My question is, how do you put into your leases that your tenants need to reach out to you to confirm work/ confirm contractors are allowed to even come onto your property pending landlord's permission ? Would it be as easy as adding something into the lease to state "Please reach out to landlord & confirm visit is OK, if unable to get a hold of landlord, please tell XX to reach out to landlord's # to schedule a visit?"
I have told my tenants in the past to not let anyone onto the property without first receiving my permission, but it's not included in my lease so i know I'm **** out of luck on this one & should have added it before :(
Any advice moving forward would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all!
