Tenant wants to re-paint basement to meet clients (Ontario)

[Paul Z.]

Hi there.

A tenant wants to re-paint the basement of the townhouse to the same neutral color, and use it as an office (I am assuming to meet clients). Is this allowed? Any recommendation for me as the landlord?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul!

Do they pay on time?

Do they cause you any problems?

Do they take care of the place?

If they are cool with you...Be cool with them. 

Not sure of the business they are in, I have a home office and never have anyone over. However I still like to have it painted and decorated for just me. 

Perhaps make sure you are listed on any business or renters insurance they carry. 

Hope that helps!
