Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-23 establishes that tenants have an interest in accessory structures on the property — like detached garages, fences, and walls — being maintained in a structurally sound condition. If a detached garage or fence appears unsafe or deteriorating, tenants can document the condition with photographs and dates, then report the concern to the appropriate Freeburg code enforcement or property maintenance authority.
