As a landlord, the purpose os prohibiting mechanical work is to prevent a junky-looking property.
Some guys go overboard- If the hood is up, they scream that you're breaking the lease.
On my property, I have no problem if you want to check your oil, or perform routine basic maintenance. What I won't allow is a car left on jackstands, or taken apart for any length of time. After a bit of time, the parking area could look like a junkyard.
My rental agreement says no mechanical work. The enforcement doesn't happen unless the car is left overnight in an unsightly manner.
As long as you're working on the car, I'm not worried (I am watching, very carefully, that no waste fluids are disposed ), but as soon as the car is just sitting there, it's time we have a talk.
