Tenant responsibilities:

• Know what property maintenance services the rental agreement covers or does not cover, such as mowing or snow shoveling. If you are responsible for mowing or snow shoveling, and the property is not mowed or snow is not shoveled, the City may mow or remove snow from the property and charge for the expense.

• Rental property is subject to the same public health and property maintenance codes applied city-wide.  It is a tenant’s responsibility to ensure proper disposal of waste.
