Tenant Responsibilities

[Barrett Boone]

I have a property that is being managed by a property management company.  I have been getting a large amount of expenses on the property lately. Some seem legit but other do not.  I wanted to get the opinion from other landlords on what should be the responsibility of the tenant to pay for, and what the home owner should pay for.

Some of the expenses from the management company :

- Trash cleanup (beer cans in front yard)

- Mowing (who do you typically make responsible for yard maint.? you or the tenant?)

- Leaves

- Glass in garbage disposall

- repainting interior walls (not sure of the reason)

Also, the expense reports I get from the company are cut off the sheet because of the way the report is formatted/ printed, so I don't really know exactly is being charged and why, and they are telling me that they can't print the sheet horizontally to show more info... this sounds really sketchy to me.

Thanks in advance
