Renters of single-family rental homes want to enjoy their pleasant home with the company of their family and friends all year round. The outdoor spaces are a vital part of the home, and tenants may want to put their spin on it by adding things to the yard. For many of them, this is a way to enjoy their Clearwater rental home.
Just like when modifying the home’s interior to suit your style, adding non-permanent decor and design is the best method for tenants to place their personal touch. Items such as patio furniture, potted plants or trees, and so on are both functional and in compliance with the terms of the lease.
The issue arises when tenants go way over the top and aren’t merely adding throw pillows to the outdoor space. A handful of tenants may see a firepit or any other prohibited item and attempt to add it to their yard. Even the small, freestanding firepits available at most home improvement stores present a serious risk, and many cities and counties have specific regulations regarding where and when they can be used.
Tenants may also want to perform more permanent changes without express permission from the owner. They may attempt to do something such as installing an awning or in-ground fire pit, adding a new path or walkway, or installing a new fence, pond, trees, bushes or perhaps even a shed or gazebo. They may think little of the distinction between purchasing and installing a freestanding barbecue grill to the patio and building one in the yard. Because of this situation, you need to talk with your tenants and explain to them clearly what they can and cannot add to their yard. Along with that, the terms stated in their lease agreement should clearly disclose the consequences of deciding to make unauthorized changes and additions.
However, in case the tenant is stubborn and insists on making changes to the yard without your permission, you’ll have to act accordingly. You’ll need to take decisive and appropriate action. If you want to be assured that your renters will stick to the terms of the lease, then hire Real Property Management TradeWinds. We present clearly all of the do’s and don’ts of home improvement projects to your tenants and perform regular property evaluations. This makes sure that they comply with the lease.
