A: Assuming the shed is not permanently attached to the land, it would not normally be considered an alteration to the property, but it's possible there may be some other lease violation (such as violating HOA restrictions).

In the meantime, if the house has serious maintenance issues that the landlord can't or won't fix, you may be better off moving anyway.
