Lawn Maintenance Liability Situation

Autumn Brooke

Posted

I have three separate tenants, each renting room + common areas (2 of the tenants are friends) in a single family home. One tenant has an injured knee and is due to have surgery In July. I'd like to make tenants responsible for lawn/yard maintenance and provide a self propelled push mower. I have .23 acres. 

Is this a potential liability with one of the tenants having an injured knee? Not sure how to go about the situation.

Hire someone to do it and bake it into the rent. Don't have tenants work with dangerous equipment.
