All of my SFR tenants are responsible for lawn care and snow removal. How do you duplex owners get these chores done? Who is responsible.....you or the tenants?

@Chuck Bredemus

Welcome to BP.  You have found a great resource for leveraging the experience of other RE investors and landlords.

On our duplex properties, I take care of the lawn care.  But I do not take care of snow shoveling.  On our SFHs the tenant takes care of the lawn care and snow.  On all properties, we take care of cleaning the gutters.

What we have learned is that by mowing the grass we have been able to take care of most maintenance before it becomes an issue because of our presence at the properties.
