They also asked if they could sand down the entrance for a kitchen drawer so it opened more easily.What are your thoughts on allowing your tenants to do this kind of stuff?

So far he has replaced the address numbers for both sides, repainted the threshold, re-caulked around the bath tub, painted around the entrance, and has now paid someone to mow the lawn when it is taken care of by someone else, he said it was looking shabby.My question is am I in any trouble with them doing all of this work?

(garage is in rear of property with its entrance facing another road other than the main driveway).

Upper floor has 3 bedrooms and a bath and lower has a separate entrance with suitable space to make into a 1 bed apartment.

Examples - breezeway between garage and house, office to side of the front entrance, media room on back of house, etc.  

The home is unique in that it has a separate entrance to the basement and an easily configurable entrance to a great little studio area with a half bath.

So I'm looking to emphasize the main entrance of the home with maybe a combination of landscaping, house numbers, mailbox location, etc.I look forward to your thoughts!

If a duplex has separate entrances then the tenant the tenant can be responsible.
