I want to split legal responsibility for Mowing and snow removal

[Matthew Kern]

I want to split legal responsibility for Mowing and snow removal between my two duplex tenants in their lease's.

I'm looking for the exact language I can add into my lease's for the future. Does anyone know of the right words or have experience doing this for their Duplexes?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

@Matthew Kern I had an up/down duplex and one of the tenants was responsible for all the yard and snow. He received a monthly discount on rent to take care of this. If it is a side-by-side, you could split the yard in half. 

Also keep in mind as the owner it is your legal responsibility to make sure it is mowed and snow is removed. You can put whatever you want in your lease, but if the grass is too long, the city will fine you, not the tenant.
