• In this story, a tenant had an established setup for working from home. Their landlord had been unaware of this arrangement until he saw their office space when he came to attend to some routine maintenance at the property.

  Shortly after this, he sent an email claiming that remote work was a violation of the residential-only lease. He was demanding $200 extra a month for this ‘commercial use’, and the tenant was left wondering if this was something that he was allowed to do. They didn't feel that the way he was approaching this was acceptable, and they didn't want to pay extra.
