emailelle | I'm renting a house: Is it my or my landlord's responsibility to maintain the lawn? |
THERE IS A MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR CLAUSE WHICH STATES:
"LESSEE WILL, AT LESSEE'S SOLE EXPENSE, KEEP AND MAINTAIN THE LEASED PREMISES AND APPURTENANCES IN GOOD AND SANITARY CONDITION AND REPAIR DURING THE TERM OF THIS LEASE AND ANY RENEWARL THEREOF... MAJOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE LEASED PREMISES, NOT DUE TO LESSEE'S MISUSE, WASTE OR NEGLECT, SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WHO THE LESSOR OR LESSEE ASSIGNS."
SO IS IT MY RESPONSIBILITY OR THAT OF MY LANDLORD? THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR OF THE SUBDIVISION CUTS THE LAWN, BUT DOES NOT TEND TO ANY WEEDS, WHICH ARE A PROBLEM. THEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL IN PLANTING BEDS. THERE WAS MULCH DOWN, BUT IT'S OLD AND THE WEEDS ARE TAKING OVER. I DON'T THINK IT'S MY RESPOSIBILITY TO TEND TO THAT, AS THE LAND SHOULD BE LANDSCAPED. IS THAT NOT THE LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITY? |

In most cases the renter is responsible for the landscaping. Since you are the lessee and it states that the lessee will keep and maintain the premises, it is your responsiblity to weed the beds, make sure things are watered and not allowed to die, trim bushes,etc.
In most cases you would be responsible for cutting the grass, too, so be happy that the subdivision does that. If this is an HOA situation, it would depend on the HOA rules, not necessarily your lease. But, around here, even with an HOA situation, the owner/tenant is still responsible for the flower beds, bushes and anything near the building. The HOA only cuts the grass so it is all the same height in the same area at the same time. And, so that the neighborhood isn't a constant noise of lawnmowers one after the other. |

The very first line makes it pretty obvious: "Lessee will maintain leased premises".....
It's your responsibility. |

You do realize you are the "leasee"? Yes, the lease holder maintains the landscaping.
Most people would NOT want the landlord over every week attending to the flower beds! |

Pulling weeds is "keeping and maintaining the leased premises and appurtenances in good and sanitary condition."
Lawns are utilitarian. Flower beds are for pretty. You get to replace light bulbs as they burn out, and you get to plant - and weed - the flower beds. If the kitchen stove burns out, or the sewer line caves in, it's the landlord's responsibility. |

your more then welcome to ask your landlord to have someone do it but it is your SOLE responsibility. esp since u worded the clause. dont be lazy and cut ur own grass and mow ur lawn. the landlord is not responsible. if u dont keep up with the property u might be subject to fines by the town for having such an eye sore. |

Soory, but he might be responsibe to cut the lawn, but thats about it. If you want a nice flower bed, or a lawn without crabgrass, thats on you. |

you're the lessee, so it's your responsibility. Whether or not landscaping could fix the problem is up to the lessor to decide, as that constitutes a major renovation. So I'm afraid that, legally speaking, that's your job to take care of the weeds. |

It is your respsonsibility to maintain it.
"Lessee WILL, at lessee's sole expense, KEEP and MAINTAIN the LEASED PREMISES" ... etc |

The lease term you describe appears to cover the areas you inhabit. The question is, are you responsible for the landscaping? I think the answer here is no, you are not,
You say the subdivision contracts for the landscape contractor. Actually I would guess it is a Home Owners Association (HOA) that takes care of the landscaping. Check with the owner, if the HOA is responsible for the landscaping (almost 100% certainty) you need to contact the HOA office about the weed problem. If not the owner, than a neighbor should have the contact information for the landscaper and HOA. |

If the landlord is going to be taking care of the lawn it would be in the agreement. Otherwise it is your responsibility. This should have been discussed at the time you signed the lease so there would be no misunderstanding. Call your landlord and ask, chances are it is your responsibility. |
