If mowing or gardening is not in your signed rental contract, then it's up to the renter to keep the yard clean and mowed. If you live in an apartment or condo then it's directly up to the Maintenance person of that building.

Is the tenant responsible for replacing lawn if he has watered and weeded and still the lawn dies?

Absolutely not!!! I am a landlord and I would be grateful to any tenant that attempted to keep the lawn up...the property owner is responsible...not you!


Lease says that landlord is responsible for lawn mowing. Landlord will not honor this. Can lease be broken by tenant?

Yes he can. A violation of the terms of a lease by a landlord is just as much grounds for termination by the tenant. The landlord can still evict you but less likely will win.


If HOA requires owners to power wash decks can an owner landlord hold tenant responsible and charge a fine if tenant does not power wash the deck?

The landlord is required by HOA, I'll suspect, to mow the lawn, too. The lease may require that you mow it. If the landlord expects you to power wash your deck, that will have a similar clause in your lease agreement. If the lease places the responsibility on the tenant, you signed the lease and it is a contract. If it isn't there, you can probably argue successfully that it isn't your responsibility. If the landlord provides access to a power washer and provides training on how to properly perform the power washing and has that responsibility spelled out in the lease as the tenant's responsibility then you had better get to washing or hire one of the landlord's service providers to do it.


Write a Contract?

A rental lease agreement is a contract between the landlord and the tenant that can stand up in a court when both parties sign the arrangement. Before the tenant moves into the property, he or she needs to read everything listed in the document. If there is anything that they dispute, it needs to be addressed before the lease is signed. If anything arises after the lease is signed, then the landlord may not do anything about the situation. When someone finds a home that they are interested in purchasing, they should call the person who owns the home. This is called the landlord. The landlord would then make an appointment for the tenant to walk through the home to see if they would be interested in living in the home. There are two sides to every rental arrangement. The landlord needs to be honest with the tenant. If there is anything wrong with the home before the tenant moves in, they need to tell them so they are not surprised before they move in. Everything the tenant is responsible for should be made aware of. If the tenant is responsible for mowing the lawn or having their own trash picked up, it needs to be included in the rental lease agreement. The tenant needs to inform the landlord of everyone living in the home. The number of children needs to be listed on the lease as well as any pets that will be on the property. If the landlord requires a pet deposit, it should be clearly stated in the lease before the tenant moves in, not two months after the tenant has been living in the home. After the tenant has walked through the home and decided they want to live in the house, both parties should sit down and discuss the amount of the rent as well as a security deposit and any other fees. A typical lease agreement should have both names on the top of the paper and then a list of rules that the tenant needs to follow as well as things that the landlord will take care of. Most landlords provide water for their renters, and some will provide trash pickup as well as lawn maintenance. When everything is agreed upon, both parties should sign the document. One important thing that needs to be added is that at any time a payment is missed, the tenant has 30 days to be evicted from the home and if they do not leave they can be taken to court.
