Tenants responsibility for lawn care

[Ahmad Moore]

I’m curious if my rental lease doesn’t pertain a clause stating it’s the tenant responsibility to maintain lawn care, would it be reasonable to deduct from security deposit if such lawn has overgrown significantly.

I know here lately where I am, it has been raining continuously for the past few weeks but of course it has been dry moments, however the grass was cut prior to past tenants moving in.

Eat the cost myself or deduct, what you think..

if it is not in your lease then no, it would not be reasonable to deduct it from the SD.  Change your lease, learn your lesson and be grateful this was a cheap lesson : )
