Yard Maintenance In Rental Agreement
Real Property Management is the national leader in property management and manages these and many other similar situations on a daily basis. In our experience, the first step is to decide what works best for you, the owner, but try to be flexible. Weigh the pros and cons, check your local laws and regulations around your home, conduct proper tenant reviews, discuss options, and no matter what you and your tenant choose, make sure your agreement is written, preferably in your lease. If you need professional assistance with any aspect of your rental property, we are here to help and just a phone call! If you are unsure of the responsibility for maintaining the farm, check your lease first. If the use of the yard is included in the lease, you can assume that the responsibility for basic maintenance accompanies it. However, this is not always the case. In some localities, the maintenance of the lawn and garden is the responsibility of the owner, unless otherwise stated. Let`s say you`re renting a house, townhouse, or part of an apartment building that has significant outdoor space. Who is responsible for maintaining these outdoor spaces such as pruning trees and cleaning gutters? It depends on two things: Our landlord said in our lease that we need to take care of the leaf sweep in the yard. That is what we have done. But now the grass becomes very tall, and no one cuts the grass.
Isn`t it the owner`s responsibility to mow the lawn and make sure it looks good? We can`t talk to our landlord because they yell at us and refuse to discuss anything including repairs with us. What can or should we do to solve this problem? What happens if your tenant does extensive gardening that you didn`t authorize, or if unauthorized repairs are in front of you? Without a contract, you are not required to compensate a tenant for work that goes beyond what constitutes reasonable care, no matter how much it needs to be done. No matter what type of lawn care the owners and their tenants choose, it is important that both parties receive the agreement in writing. .
