1. What if the hydraulics fail and comes collapsing down. Not sure if there have been any injuries/deaths from this, but few youtube vids on where they test and actually fail

2. It would still require me to slide underneath my car and be on my back. I much rather be standing and have free range of motions and have that extra leverage.

It has a mechanical locking mechanism. And it's honestly easier to do that work on your back than standing up.

He said 3 months max. So I'll be sure to draw up a contract agreement that specifies the terms.

I was once a portfolio property manager, where I oversaw the operations of both commercial and residential properties (for both multi- and single-family homes). If you do proceed with this, I would have an attorney draw up the contract, as if you are missing any elements, the contract could technically be null/void. In extreme cases, you could even be hit with practicing law without a license, if you are not a lawyer that is.

And as Old Guy stated, be prepared for a falling out, as friends that usually live together don't always part ways as such. Even with explicit boundaries, the tenant will have that mindset of "well I pay rent, so I have rights and can do this or that". I remember a time when I rented out a house to a college student, and subleasing was fine as long as each tenant was added to the lease contract. Well, she did exactly that with her "best friend", but then as time went on, the newer tenant would constantly have parties, have random people stay an extended period of time, and overall causes disturbances. I don't think they remained friends, but worse, both of them eventually got evicted.

Yeah, as Betty says, it's got locking mechanisms. As long as you have the locks on it can't actually fall. Regarding 2, I'm not sure in what world jack stands are better. A lift, yes. Jack stands, no.

Sooooo just saw my tuner just died in a customer car.

How long is enough before I go to the shop to ask for my $600 back I prepaid for a tune?
