You can say it had to be cut urgently and try to get them to reimburse you after (may not be successful but at least the danger to your tenant will be gone and you won’t be sued by the tenant).

Your biggest problems here are going to be how to properly qualify someone, what to do if someone stops paying, footing the bill if you have a big repair item, finding quality and reasonable vendors/contractors to fix things, and keeping track of payments.If this isn't you, give me some more context of where you're at and I can give some better insights. 

Have a warehouse currently for a business I do(I order pallets of items and resell) but getting tight on space.

It didn't feel scary or dangerous where we were (a little east of the down town area).  

My CPA instructed me to list my repairs as CAPEX or repair items , furnishings were supplies for the rental. 

We typically estimate standard costs for these items but get them done much cheaper with our own crew.

they look like they'll cash flow a few hundred dollars a month but then you have a rough tenant turnover, or a big capex item come up, and boom - your cash flow is gone for 5 or 10 years.here are two really good threads to read.Overleveraging, net worth, cash flow and headache factorBaltimore - a path to never-ending painhappy to help further.

But everyone has to make there own decision.By the way, I read through Tardus website, and a couple of VERY INTERESTING items popped out.  

Due to item 1, adding an ADU can require years to start achieving any return (once the accumulated cash flow recovers the initial negative position).4) Adding an ADU is a slow process.

I also like to use incidental insurance as an additional layer such as Waivo to cover items.
