I believe the safety is solid for my wife and me; in fact, we are about to start having children here.

I really like most of my tenants and I would never want them to feel threatened or to feel that I view them as a threat to my safety (if I felt that way, I wouldn't have rented to them.)

Definitely go the legal route here, don't rent out the basement unless you have the OK from the relevant authorities--it's regulated for a reason (fire safety, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.) and your insurance will not have your back if something goes wrong.

That’s the real measure of whether it’s worth it.

Operations- tenants refusals, either cull them before they get to you by requiring autopay as an example, document on their application why you refused them, make sure your facilities are maintained properly and no safety hazards exist, etcLLC.

So measure you risk,  and do it.

After discussing, the plumber took longer because they weren't provided measurements or good detail of what the problem was.

My questions are:- is it worth investing there in terms of the safety of tenants?

The difference between a safety line and a safety net is that a safety net (your words) can break one line and still hold a fish.
