Your Questions About Gardening

GardenersCardiff answers:

****Easy – If it says in the lease the landlord would take care of it then legally he must.****

My first question is What state do you live in? States have different rules for Landlords and what they are responsible for. Let me know and I will tell you what I know.

First check your rental agreement to see if it states who’s responsibility the gardening or maintaining the outside of the unit is. If it says that the landlord pays for a gardener then that was the agreement when you moved in and that must be honored until you sign a new agreement stating different.

Pest control should always be the responsibility of the property owner or landlord and if the yard is allowed to get worse then that will be a health violation.

With more info from you I can give you some exact statute’s to take back to your landlord.

*********
There are many kinds of defects that could make a rental unit unlivable. The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain their rental units in a condition fit for the “occupation of human beings ” In addition, the rental unit must “substantially comply” with building and housing code standards that materially affect tenants’ health and safety.

A rental unit may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it contains a lead hazard that endangers the occupants or the public, or is a substandard building because, for example, a structural hazard, inadequate sanitation, or a nuisance endangers the health, life, safety, property, or welfare of the occupants or the public.

A dwelling also may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it substantially lacks any of the following:
* Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds, and appurtenances (for example, a garden or a detached garage), free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents, and vermin.
