Hey all, I'm stressing out pretty hard here so bear with me. I have a rental house in the country, with a detached shop. I grow in the shop and break down every year for an annual property inspection by the property manager.
I got an email Monday morning from the manager, that the owners want to visit the property this weekend from 8-noon and enter the shop.
My brain races and I hit the panic button. We broke it all down and hid and cleaned everything. Now the shop has a car in it and a bunch of my random junk.
Now, last year the property manager had the house painted, but not the shop. He asked me how the shop was during our last annual inspection, and I mentioned that the roof has a couple small leaks but it's otherwise fine.
I have no idea why the owner wants to go in the shop.
If they saw or heard something suspicious, would they give me 6 days notice?
If they wanted to fix the roof, wouldn't the property manager be involved? Or is the 8-noon range more likely a roofing contractor? Why a weekend day though?
My wife wonders if they want to take the building back from us and use it themselves? Sounds weird to me.
If they wanted to sell the property, I figured they'd want to see the whole property, not just the shop.
I'm anxious as fuck and totally losing my chill. I told the manager that of course they could come out that day, and he just replied "thanks Lazyman."
I'll be there to greet them, pretend I have the flu and ask what I can do for him. I'm just tripping hard over why the hell he's coming in the first place out of the blue.
Something similar did happen about 6 years back. Similar email from the manager, owners wanted to visit to access their shed at the back of the property. That went smoothly, as the she'd isn't mine to use or touch. But the she'd has their crap in it, the shop definitely has nothing of theirs in it.
Please let me know your thoughts, thanks all!
