Adding Lawn Care to Rent but Doing it Yourself

[Derrick White]

So I'm slowly adding properties. I currently have three. In all my leases, it states that the tenant is responsible for lawn care. My question is, does anyone have a lawn care business and adds that cost into their rent to for the mowing? In other words, I have a commercial mower. I only mow my primary residence. I am toying around with increasing rent to include lawn care, and then just doing the mowing myself. Anyone else doing this? Cons to this? Thanks!

If you want t do the lawn care that is fine however do not add it as a additional cost in rent. Just raise the rent and do the work.  Courts do not allow landlords to be paid for their time, you do not want to get into that fight.
