Typically in my area I would be responsible for lawn care and snow removal but due to several unique properties I only have lawn care at the duplex which I house hack and snow removal at the 4-plex which has a shared driveway and I provide the snow plowing and the gentleman who shared the driveway with me provides the lawn care.

We normally don’t buy investment condos since the cash on cash return is normally low due to the HOA fees but there is something to be said about not needing to worry about the exterior, heat, hot water, snow removal, or landscaping.

And if he represents it as such knowing it is not thats mortgage fraud.I cringe whenever I hear "well, its done all the time" which can be true but won't make it right or, as importantly, defensible when things go wrong.LOL, nobody has EVER accused Boston of being an innocent little town and pure as the driven snow!

I now have to give this tenant a 30 day notice of non-renewal.The unfortunate part is this tenant had to move out all their belongings by January 31st in Nebraska, which if you didn't know we get lots of snow at this time.

I live in this multi-family so I take care of the grass/lawn, snow removal in the winter, etc - however, I plan on moving out this year so I'm in the middle of deciding whether to hire someone to take care of the outside work or include it into the lease for the tenants.For the lease agreement, I used the old one the previous owners had and made small changes but there's nothing specific to snow removal, lawn care, or other general household maintenance (changing light bulbs, air filters, etc.) 

A lot people love skiing and snow tubing, The Ski Resorts are always packed and overbooked, so the STR are making a killing now. 

You also might want to budget for lawncare and snow, unless you really enjoy shoveling!

Good evening and Happy New Year.For a single family home, what is the common practice in NJ (if there is such a thing) for landscaping (maintenance), snow removal and pest control; who should be responsible for those, landlord or tenant?
