  • If you do not wish to take care of the yard yourself, we are in contact with professionals who will arrange with you to maintain the yard and mow on a regular schedule.

  • The tenant always agrees to keep the pet(s) under control. Should any pet(s) become a nuisance due to noise, barking, or damage to the building or grounds, the tenant agrees to immediately remove the pet from the premises upon the owner's request. This does not release the tenant from the contract.
