Food waste and garbage cannot be left outside of covered garbage cans.The renter is responsible for removing snow and ice from the stairs and walkways on and around the property rented.Permit Landlord Right of Entry: Landlord retains the right, with 48 hours written notice, to enter renter’s lot during reasonable hours as necessary to make repairs and improvements.Emergency Access: In the event of an emergency, owner may enter renter’s lot, and/or RV without notice to render aid or to prevent property damage.

I loved it ... except for driving on ice in the winter!
