The neighbor smokes, incessantly.  

Finally, I got stuck in the snow with rear wheel drive. 

Hi everyone, Lawn care question about a duplex: *note: lawn care and snow removal is in both leases Care was split, tenant A tool care of back and side yard, tenant B took care of front (a hill).

You may also find a tenant that displays positive qualities and you can use them to help you keep trash picked up, mow lawns, shovel snow, clean and paint units.

I don't imagine snow is much of an issue, but  holds true there, also.A bit inconvenient when it's raining, but less injurious to her car's finish than bird / tree droppings.My $0.02...David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

You might want to consider mentioning some fees at the open house: yep, rent is 750, but there's another 50/mo for lawncare in the summer and snow plowing in the winter(or trash pickup@cost, big complexes around here love that one).

You have to unload Snow, Thunderstorm, blizzard, rain.

As a result the freezer is always running and freezing my veggies and eggs (I'm starting to get used to mashing my eggs with a potato masher in the morning) in the fridge and everything in the freezer is lined with ice and snow and is freezer burned.

Im doing cost/benefit analysis of keeping her vs paying for landscaping/snow removal/ handywork separately.

I then called my lawn service and added her property to the list - with instructions to go to the door and introduce themselves the first time and ask how she would like the lawn mowed.It might cost me an extra $20/wk and isn't maximizing my rent, but it helps a neighbour remain in her house longer (we also take care of her snow removal in the winter).
