My tenant just asked me if they could end their lease a month early because they are going into the military. I personally don't have a problem with this as long as I have someone to take over the apartment as soon as they're gone. I am a new landlord though and wanted to see what others do with a request like this. Would love your thoughts

See you there!

I keep seeing people turn their basements into rentals, but I’ve heard the rules can get tricky depending on where you live. How do you figure out if a basement can legally be rented out? Do you just call the city? Or is there some checklist for things like ceiling height, windows, permits, etc.? Curious what others have run int, any surprises or lessons learned before someone goes all-in on a basement unit that can’t actually be rented?
