Make Your Landlord Pay For Your Garden
According to “Every landlord’s Legal Guide” published by Nolo Press, every rental agreement has a statement that any alterations or repairs to the premises must not be made by the tenant without prior authorization from the property owner. However, gardening is also a part of this agreement where alterations are not accepted without any prior notification. According to Janet Portman, who has authored the guide, unless agreed upon through an agreement, any plantation made in the garden would be the property of the owner.
But, now the situation is changing. Many landlords are adopting a relaxed approach. According to Portman, it would be useful if the renters make an agreement with the landlord regarding the activities that are intended to be taken up in the garden. Typically, these sorts of agreements would describe the nature of work to be taken up, the equipment and material that would be used for the purpose, description about ownership of the property when the renter vacates the house and the payment terms if the owner wants to keep the property.
Sometimes, a properly structured agreement can even make the landlord pay for the garden. In order to achieve this, the renter must frame the agreement in a way that would be beneficial to the owner in a long run. In these agreements, it is the responsibility of the tenant to convince the owner that these changes would enhance the value of the property. A smart renter can also include a clause in the agreement that the owner has to make a payment for maintenance of the lawn and garden. Sometimes, this amount can also be adjusted with a part of the rent.
