If you would like to mow the lawn and shovel the snow yourself, the rent would be reduced by $100 per month.

We agreed to this as the owner is very well settled and has lived there for 20+ years and we wanted a smooth transition.Our realtor called last night and the seller is having a major surgery done in the next few days, the seller is asking to reduce rent ( to around $450) in exchange to help manage the property like mowing, adding salt to the softener.I am very against this idea, it was the seller who wrote in the 30days for free and under market rent, which I think is very nice of me to agree to, I do not want the liability of him getting hurt while mowing, shoveling snow and such, also if he does these duties it gives the appearance that he is still in charge of the property and I do not want the other tenants to get that idea.

Grab a shovel and get the snow removed.. the ice dam guys that's the way the ice dam guys do it so if not a 10 story building and you have a way up there grab a small snow blower, smooth shovels and work the area near the leak first.. my nephew has a ice dam business in Minnesota,, and that's what they do.. min 125.00 a hour. for 2 hrs is average call..or call some ice dam services in your area..

Home owners and property investors have a heightened sense of urgency when it comes to safeguarding their properties, so I can understand the looks of shock and horror I receive when I urgently implore:  Do NOT shovel your roof!!
