"Mike, I rent a house in Wellfeet. My grass is growing really high and my landlord has not trimmed it yet. Isn't this his responsibility?"
Thanks for you letter and firstly, I would check the lease. If it is not clearly defined in the lease you may need to have a discussion with your landlord. Typically, if you rent a house, you, the renter or lessee is responsible for mowing the lawn and trimming the shrubs. And you usually need to have your own mower. When you rent in a multi unit setting, the landlord is responsible for the upkeep of the property. Renting a single family home is much different. Please talk to your landlord as each tenancy is set up differently yet the rules around landscaping are pretty much the same.
