You can never predict when your tenant's chickens will escape and greatly upset the old lady next door by pooping all over her manicured lawn, and the only thing that will pacify her is a bouquet of fresh flowers.

I put cheap mini blinds up on the windows, flower pot(s) on the stoop/porch, if elect on leave lights & radio on a timer, you can leave a car in the driveway, put up a mailbox or newspaper sleeve and stick a paper in there.

A shower curtain, some towels and some flowers and a cookbook in the kitchen make a huge difference even without furniture.

All of the grass and all of the extensive and beautiful flowering plants were dead.

Some other common things to get it ready to sell are I would be painting over any harsh colors (Pinks, Purples, Aqua), if it is the spring time adding some flowers with color, having the place professionally cleaned.

Yard Maintenance:(1) "Yard" means all lawns, shrubbery, bushes, flowers, gardens, trees, rock or other landscaping, and other foliage on or encroaching on the Property or on any easement appurtenant to the Property, and does not include common areas maintained by an owners' association.(2) "Maintain the yard" means to perform activities such as, but not limited to: (a) mowing, fertilizing, and trimming the yard; (b) controlling pests and weeds in the yard; and (c) removing debris from the yard.Does this outright mean that tenant is responsible for everything or one could still interpret that tree trimming is not a routine task of landscaping?
