Q) I rented a house to a tenant, which has a large lawn area. The tenant is refusing to water the lawn as he claims that it is causing his water bill to go up. I am afraid that the lawn will die. Under the agreement the tenant is to pay for water. What should I do?
A) Your tenant is responsible to maintain the premises. The law imposes this in every lease agreement. Since your tenant is required to pay for the water, it is his sole responsibility to water the lawn to maintain its condition. As a practical solution, you might (want) to offer the tenant a slight discount in the rent, so that (the) tenant will comply willingly.
