Tenant wants to mow MY yard
Hi!
We just bought a duplex and inherited seemingly high quality tenants. We will be living on the other side and managing ourselves.
I am making NOT becoming my tenants friend a high priority but I can tell they would like to be friends. I don't mind being a friendly neighbor, but I definitely want to keep things professional and not cross any lines.
We are in the middle of renovating our side and our tenants just bought a lawn mower and mowed the whole front yard (which I think is normal)
But now she texted me and asked if we'd mind her mowing our backyard and that it would be a privilege to do something nice for us. I feel like maybe I should say no so that we don't complicate things and leave her thinking she is owed a favor from us.
Am I overthinking this? Should I tell her yes its fine or NO THANKS?
