tenants rights

[Andy Collins]

tenant would be responsible for maintainance of garden surely?

council here would send official looking snotty letter to tenant stating work to be done within 28 days or they will send a contractor plus 10 or 20% admin fee. I have done 2.Maybe i was unlucky but not good payers.

 

You are correct, garden maintenance is down to the tenant, however trees are (sensibly) beyond the abilities of many, and the last thing the council need is someone "having a go" demolishing the side of a house. I've done many garden clearances for the local council, at great expense to them, where many tenants dont give a hoot about the gardens, and have even returned a couple of years later to clear the same property of a build up of their detritus.
