Yard maintenance and pet waste

[Anne Grello]

For mid-term rentals that are houses with yards and pet friendly, what do you typically do for lawn maintenance? Hire out and request that tenants pick up dog poop before weekly mowing? Or leave a mower at the residence? Tenants will be in the home for 3-6 months. Ideas? 

TIA :)

[Gretchen P.]

Tenants should theoretically pick up their own dog poop. Some won't, so you will need a service, but thats what pet fees are for. 

Short-term tenants expect to do NO maintenance. Hire a lawn service.
