Oh wow. This is a great point. I didn't even think about this. He hasn't done anything major except the flooring but he has done many small changes that are starting to add up. So far hopefully no code violations but thank you for bringing this up. 

Thank you. I appreciate the response

Thank you. You make a valid point. The only credit I gave him is for the floor but I shouldn't have done that. This was 6 months into the lease. Prior to that all the little things just kept showing up. They seem like very nice people but the guy took offense to it when I told him firmly that no more improvements are to be made.

I am renting a house to a tenant that keeps making improvements to the house. He put in a backsplash in the kitchen, put up larger fence doors, light fixtures and fans, etc. I keep telling  him to stop and he says dont worry about it, you wont owe us anything, we just love the house. I did pay for new flooring in the house and he put it in himself which I am paying him by taking money off rent $350 for 5 months. Now he wants to replace the shed. I finally told him to stop doing it and that no, he cannot do that. He got all huffy and puffy and said that he may just go buy a house etc, he said we dont owe him anything but then contradicted himself and said: " do you know how much money I spent here"? I was planning on renewing the lease, which is 3 months away. What should I do? Any specific language that I can include in the new lease? These improvements need to stop. Thank you 

I was hoping to attend but looks like I cant make it. Hopefully there will be more of these events in the future.
