A tree (not within my leased premises) caused damage to my leased premises during a wind storm.

I recently purchased an older house that was jungle-like because the previous owner loved plants and trees.

Elizabeth Colegrove @Ned Carey there is no xmas tree, and the lights are white, so I figured it should be OK...

The deferred maintenance to the property includes, but is not limited to, roof damage/leaks/roof replacement ($4.5k), deck repair ($1.5k, gutter replacement ($1k), landscaping & tree work ($1k), carpet replacement ($500), and kitchen/bathroom repairs/upgrades ($3.5k).

For example, how expensive does it get to remove stones, clear a field of trees, or flatten the property?

I know that as I get calls coming in, my mind is scrambling to try and recognize if I'm barking up the wrong tree, or worse, if I may be passing on what could be a good deal!

Thanks Ned, subject 2 deals dont sound like theyll be my cup of tea.

Watch out for shade tree lawyers who will tell you it is illegal.Joe Gore

I had a neighbor once at one of my properties say that the bushes/trees were growing too far into the alley.
