A well-maintained yard is a significantly good feature to any valuable rental home. As is often the case, property owners and tenants must cooperate to make sure that weeds, debris, and other eyesores are not allowed to easily propagate which would result in a loss of curb appeal and, in extreme cases, depreciation of property value.
In order to be ready for yard care season, you need to make sure that you carefully state the landscape responsibilities of both the renter and the landlord in the lease. It is key to communicate who is answerable for which tasks so that they are not neglected.
Convincing your Flemington tenants to do yard care is also key. Landscaping maintenance can be an onerous weight for renters seeing as it demands specialized tools. A tenant will need to have in their possession or have permission from someone they know to use the right tools for the job, should they have agreed to tend to a rental home’s lawn. A lawn mower, rake, and other tools are basic necessities. It is not advisable to require a renter to evenly distribute fertilizer or weed killer products as tenants might not be skilled enough at using the proper chemicals in the proper amounts and areas.
Looking after flower beds and keeping other areas of the yard weed-free may be something you can encourage your tenants to perform. Since that is the case, they’ll want hand trowels, shovels, and other weeding tools to keep the yard orderly. Onerous garden maintenance tasks may necessitate for serious tools. Pruning and trimming hedges, bushes, and trees normally call for the use of pruning shears, hedge trimmers, and landscaping saws and should be operated by professionals, not renters.
