Who is responsible for lawn care

Postby LINYbob » Thu May 26, 2011 9:02 pm

I am renting in a legal two family house. The lawn is over 12" high and the landlord shows no signs of cutting it. There is no mention of lawns in the lease. I was told that the landlord would handle lawn care. Again, there is nothing in the lease related to who does lawn care or cutting. This is a two family house, I live upstairs, and the lower unit is vacant.

So who is supposed to cut the lawn? What if the landlord tells me to buy a lawnmower and do it or hire someone? Is that normal? I have no place to store a lawnmower, nor interest in cutting the grass.

What if someone moves in downstairs? Would they be required to share the cutting chore, even if the lease says nothing?

Just wondering.....
