Lease Question

I'm pretty new around here, so I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :)

So I'm new to this and working on my first Lease. I've read tons of example leases from actual landlords in my area. So I wanted your opinion if the following is worded right and if there's any maintenance issues I am missing (this is for a SFH on a .44 acre wooded lot):

MAINTENANCE. Tenant will be responsible for: all stopped up sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, or drains; burned out light bulbs; all exterior landscaping and lawn maintenance including but not limited to: the care of shrubbery, landscaping, mowing, and providing for prompt garbage removal. If Landlord deems that lawn care or garbage removal is necessary, then Tenant agrees to pay $100.00 for each time lawn is mowed and $100.00 each time garbage is removed. If Landlord must provide lawn care or garbage removal, such shall constitute a breach of the Lease by Tenant and is grounds for eviction.


Tenant shall not remodel, paint, structurally change, nor remove nor add any fixture from or to the premises without the written consent of Landlord. Tenant will not trim or cut trees. Tenant will not remove nor plant exterior bushes or plants without the written consent of Landlord and the proper execution of a Tenant Remodel Addendum. If consent is granted, ownership of any fixtures or appliances affixed to the premises or plants planted in the ground shall convey to Landlord with no additional consideration granted by Landlord.

Except in an emergency, all maintenance and repair requests must be made in writing and delivered to Landlord or its Agent. A repair request will be deemed permission for the Landlord or its Agent to enter the Premises to perform such maintenance or repairs in accordance with ACCESS BY LANDLORD TO PREMISES herein unless otherwise specifically requested, in writing, by Tenant. Tenant may not place any unreasonable restrictions upon Landlords or Landlord's Agents access or entry. Landlord shall have expectation that the Premises is in a safe and habitable condition upon entry.
