Lawn service for a duplex - Workers Comp?

[Dan Costantino]

I just bought a duplex and I need someone to cut the grass. The tenants won't do it. I want to hire someone reputable but I've been quoted a $40 minimum. They have workers comp, which is a big plus.

I thought I'd be paying around $25-$30 because it's a small yard.

I'm assuming I can get in a world of trouble if an uninsured person I hire to cut the grass falls or cuts off his/her foot.

Can an experienced landlord guide me?
