Addendum for lawn care
Hello All,
I’ve got a new tenant in one of our units of a duplex who has offered to mow the lawn in exchange for a discount on the rent. I have no issue with this since it would cost me more to have it professionally done.
I just want to make sure this arrangement is recorded as part of the lease in an addendum so that there is no confusion as far as what the tenant is responsible for, what the I as the landlord is responsible for, what constitutes a failure to meet the standards, and grounds for ending the arrangement an discount to the rent.
Does anyone have a sample of one such or similar addendum I could use as reference? Thank you!

@Aaron Hale don't make it part of the lease agreement, just hire them to do the work, pay them and then let them use that money to pay their rent, or whatever else they want to do with it.
