Backyard shed with no locks

[Jerry L.]

I have a shed that's approximately 8'x10' in the backyard that doesn't have a lock. When I rent out this property will I "have" to get a lock for it for the tenants?

If you don't provide a lock, just put something in the lease that says if they use the storage building to store items, they are required to install their own lock.

If it is for them to use, it is up to them to secure it.

If you intend to let the tenant use it, make them install a lock. I recommend you add a statement in the lease that says you are not responsible for theft or damages to anything stored in the shed.

@Jerry L.  I would just make sure the closing latch has hasp or a place to put a padlock.  You don't want them drilling a lock on to the shed.
