| A Rented Garden? |
|
As
a property owner you should take some precautions to ensure that the lawn
is easy to manage. Put paving in high traffic areas. Consider putting in
a pop up sprinkler system, which is expensive but will be much more likely
to be used by the tenant. During a summer maintenance check, only lightly
fertilise the lawn to ensure that growth is not too rampant. Consider also,
particularly for high paying but busy tenants, to have a lawn mowing service
come at minimum intervals. Advertise this as a bonus service for the rental.
On acreage properties you can stipulate that the tenant must have a ride
on mower, but remember this reduces your renter market and is no guarantee
that the ride on will be used. |
