Paying tenant to do maintenance?
Does anyone pay a tenant to handle small maintenance issues? What is an arrangement that works well?

@Michael Leeson The answer is NO set up works well for this. First they don't have any insurance for screwing up things on your property. Second, (I have been doing this over 20 years) It is never done to the level you would expect from a 3rd party vendor. Let them pay rent and your hire out the repairs. Whatever expectations you have of their timing and quality will not be met. And just as a bonus never rent to friends and family! Same outcome
