Do you require tenants to weed the beds?
My tenants are responsible for all utilities/lawn/snow removal. I am wondering if I can work out a way that that can maintain the flower beds.
So many times the mulched/planted beds are never touched and we have a jungle of weeds to clean up. Is this something I can work into the lease as a requirement and take it out of security if I need to hire landscapers to clean? I was even thinking about offering some kind of $100 credit if they leave the beds as clean as they found them on move in.
Thoughts?

@Adam Craig of the ~50 tenants I’ve had who were super excited about the yard and/or asked specifically for flower beds exactly 1 of them has maintained things appropriately. Don’t waste your time, handyman can do this as needed because your tenants never will.
