Updating Lease Agreement
Hi BP Team - hope everyone had a great holiday :)
Doing my yearly lease update for my current tenant in Bergen County NJ and wanted to get someone's take on adding additional jargon pertaining to "house maintenance". I live in this multi-family so I take care of the grass/lawn, snow removal in the winter, etc - however, I plan on moving out this year so I'm in the middle of deciding whether to hire someone to take care of the outside work or include it into the lease for the tenants.
For the lease agreement, I used the old one the previous owners had and made small changes but there's nothing specific to snow removal, lawn care, or other general household maintenance (changing light bulbs, air filters, etc.)
Anyone have any advice on how to add these things into the lease agreement? Any specific wording that's potentially all encompassing and puts the responsibility on the tenant?
Any help would be great - be more than happy to provide additional information if it's helpful.
Thank you!!
