What do you make your tenants responsible for?

[Andrew Clark]

Hello. When renting a single family home what do you have your renters responsible for? Like lawn care? Utilities? Etc

Basically what @Nathan Gesner said. 

Anything a home owner would be responsible for as far as regular maintenance.

All utilities, lawn care, changing out air filters, cleaning out gutters, and overall maintaining basic working order (or notifying of non working items) for the house. 

I don't include the small repair responsibility in my lease. I would rather have them call me about a small problem so that I can either walk them through how to fix it or get someone out there to fix it. I don't want someone DIY'ing a necessary repair to save on a service call only to have a major issue come up down the road.
