Hiring Father to do Maintenence on Rental Properties
My father is retiring in the spring and wants to do handyman work for me on my rentals. This would be ideal for me because I would feel comfortable with giving him keys and let him contact tenants and enter the units as needed for repairs. He is not licensed/bonded/insured. He does not necessarily want to get licensed or start a company or business entity. Am I at risk in any way by hiring him to do the work? I am not concerned about quality of workmanship or him completing work, but I am wondering about liability and insurance if he were to get hurt on one of my properties and file an insurance claim.
