Considered including Sections Maintained in your Tenancy Agreement? 10/05/2022
A question many owners find themselves struggling to answer….
If you’re a tenant, you’re responsible for keeping the property reasonably clean and tidy. This includes mowing the lawns and weeding the gardens. There are many tenants that do a great job of maintaining their sections. However most struggle to keep them at an acceptable standard.
Some things that may help you decide whether to include section maintenance are:
- Tenants are more likely to accept rent increases, as there is a regular reminder that the landlord is taking care of the property.
- Having your property maintained by a professional ensures a great first impression when we re-lease your property in the future
- Tenants don’t need to worry about handling lawn care, and the landlord knows it is getting done right.
Any arrangement regarding lawncare and gardening should be detailed in the tenancy agreement and discussed before the tenant’s term starts and be monitored over time.
