Lawn & Yard Maintenance

Lawn care plays a crucial role in maintaining the aesthetic appeal and value of your rental home. As tenants, it’s essential to understand your responsibilities, which may include regular lawn mowing, weeding, and keeping the outdoor area tidy. These tasks not only contribute to a pleasant living environment but also comply with community standards and lease agreements. For properties where the management takes care of these duties, tenants should still report any issues like irrigation problems or fallen trees promptly.

These guidelines are designed to maintain the aesthetic appeal, safety, and overall quality of life within the community. By respecting noise ordinances, properly maintaining your property, and using communal spaces considerately, you contribute to a positive environment for everyone.
