CAN I REPAINT OR FIX-UP
THE PROPERTY? - It really depends on what you want to do. We
have had many tenants put in yards, patios, brick work, and do painting. Here
again, it depends on each property, it's owner, and what it is you want to do.
Owners can be reluctant to have extensive work completed by the tenant because
they usually mess it up. You have a better chance of getting your request approved
if your paying a licensed, insured, professional to complete the project.
Here is the excerpt from the Lease Agreement as it pertains
to property alterations:
ALTERATIONS
LESSEE shall make no alterations, of any type, including painting, to the premises
without LESSOR’s consent in writing. All alterations or improvements made
with or without consent in and to said premises, shall, unless otherwise provided
by written agreement between parties hereto, become the property of LESSOR and
shall remain upon the leasehold and shall constitute a fixture permanently affixed
to the premises. This will include, but not be limited to, ceiling fans, screen
doors, security doors, garage door openers, mounted light fixtures, and attached
window coverings. In every instance, the LESSEE shall be responsible for restoring
the premises to its original condition
**This clause is subject to change without notice.
Be sure and read your lease agreement and understand it in its entirety.
