Renter wants to put a punching bag in the basement

[Roy Gutierrez]

Hi guys,

My renter wants to hang a punching bag on the steel ibeam in the basement. He's been a very good renter, nice guy, and the rent I get from him is very good, so I try to keep him happy but I'm concerned about structural problems if he's pounding away at the bag everyday. Is it a very bad idea or is there some type of installation that will minimize the impact of the bag.

Thanks!

Personally, I'd let him install it and I'd be glad that he even asked first.  Not all tenants would have.
