I wonder if the tenant gets injured like if he cuts off his arm while doing the work he then could go after the landlord for workmans comp or some sort of liability.They could claim that they have been doing their own repairs with your knowledge for quite some time and therefore you are allowing the work.

There are enough horror stories of companies holding domains hostage, charging an arm and a leg for renewal, etc that it just isn't worth it.
