Grass left to grow too long

Ben M.

I’m 2 months into my first rental property and had an issue with grass growing too long and had to pay twice as much to take care of it. I am transitioning from the previous property manager (who handled the property before I bought it) to a new property manager. I am not sure what happened or why it was left to grow too long but was wondering if anyone had systems in place to prevent this kind of issue and if it has worked well for them? Thank you

If this is a SF house then the tenants should be mowing the grass.

Sounds like you need to check behind the PM to make sure they are doing their job.

Let your new PM know your expectations and write them into the contract. If they violate the terms of the contract you can fire them.
