Tenants have historically been responsible for yard care. Usually, lease agreements mention yard care in terms of lawn mowing alone, but mowing the lawn is just a small part of proper lawn care, and it’s common for tenants to ignore or forget their responsibilities. This puts your lawn at risk of being neglected, and you are still left with other lawn and yard maintenance.
Regular outdoor property maintenance can include fertilization, dethatching, overseeding, tree trimming, debris removal, gutter cleaning, and more. Your property aesthetic is the first thing people notice, and it directly affects the property value of your home and the amount you can ask for, either if you are renting or selling.
As little as 2 months of neglect can undo years of regular lawn maintenance. Rather than making our clients spend thousands of dollars in deferred yard maintenance every time a lease ends, we include lawn care in our rental agreements. This prevents the risk of damage from tenant neglect, and your properties will maintain regular curb appeal.
Keeping your lawn in good condition will attract new tenants, increase demand for your properties, and increase the overall value of your rental property, that is why we monitor our properties to make sure the lawn is well taken care of, either by stopping by them or asking tenants to send us pictures so we can take action before something happens.
