It’s in an up and coming neighborhood, the unit next to me has been vacant for months, and their lawn is completely overgrown.

Ive been mowing my lawn on a Sunday afternoon and had to be ready to go with in a half hour and leave it half finished.

Hello - does anyone have a recommendation for a lawn service in Columbia?

How about Lawn care/Snow removal?  

Can you even afford $3,500 (mortgage, utilities, lawn care, etc.) during that time?

How is lawn care normally handled on a duplex?

This saved me plenty of money.The same tenant has already offered to mow the lawn likely because he loves the location, realizes his rent is slightly below market and does not want to be kicked out of the month-to-month lease.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
