Renters REFUSED To Mow The Lawn And Left It In SHAMBLES

[@michelleshahjhan3417]

I had the reverse happen to me as a renter. I signed the contract and the landlord promised to clean the overgrown yard and poison ivy, but when we moved in, it hadn't been done. The landlord refused, and I couldn't leave the mess or the poison ivy for my kids to get into. It cost me over $400 to get it done, and the landlord wouldn't compensate me in any way. The company let me pay it out in 4 months with no late fees, so I was at least okay with my credit. Thank you for helping out, and thanks for saving the employee from backbreaking work and getting poison ivy. You do amazing work!

[@JeanetteFaith]

You and He needed a CONTRACT. The city would have sued him if he didn't abide by the contract and vice versa.

[@phantomframe]

How a landlord/management company rents out a giant property and doesn’t have a landscaping company come out minimum twice a month is mind boggling to me. A renter doesn’t own a riding mower! Great job Brian-you definitely came to the rescue on another corner lot! ❤

[@JeanetteFaith]

These days you need an official CONTRACT whether it is you or they who need to keep it up.

[@dougpotter43]

If the renter would have taken care of his lawn it wouldn’t have gotten so bad

[@djkdawg]

@@dougpotter43 I agree, but also its the landlord fault too, once he noticed it wasnt being taking care of, they should have done it, because it's their property and they shouldnt let rott.

I can't believe the city didn't at least clean up the sidewalk and street part. You did a phenomenal job cleaning this huge mess of a yard.

City Governments no longer do so many things they used to do! We've lost the "fight" America used to have. More people pay taxes and less things get done. Again, We've lost the American way.. Alas...

Kudos to the woman for at least trying to do the work. Brian, you are a great man! It is now a lawn again and not a forest!

I've had more than a Dozen and a half times,where the Urishol Oil from Poison Ivy, and Poison Oak, have given me outbreaks, some of which were quite extensive...and extremely itchy! Ya did a great job here, Pardner!

[@JeanetteFaith]

@@TopNotchLawns There always needs to be a notarized Contract as to who does the work and how often. Often it is the property manager who doesn't want to bother with repairs or lawn clean up. The property manager needed to PAY YOU!!!

[@lindamullens5545]

That mess sure didn’t happen overnight. Great job clearing it out.

[@TopNotchLawns]

I agree this one definitely took a while!

[@annjustus]

Be sure to wash your tools off good that touched the poison ivy. The trimmer head will have oils on it too when you change strings. The oils from it can linger on the tools and still infect you if you forget and touch it later. Great job cleaning that place up. Made a world of difference to the yard and to that poor lady who was going to try to clean it up with the tools she had.

[@barbie5697]

Yes! I learned that the hard way many years ago!

[@christopherduitsman]

Dawn dish soap works wonders on the oils from poison ivy. Plus it would have taken that poor woman over a day to mow that lot with a push mower.

[@k9skrobak]

Glad that gate didn't mess anything up. You dodged a bullet on that. Great job with the clean up!

[@Minkster555]

Brian, you’re a VERY GENEROUS PERSON! This was a big job, you deserved to get paid.😊 It would be so nice if that company made a NICE donation to one of your favorite charities. Just saying. Bless you and I pray you don’t get poison ivy.🤞💚

[@404nitro]

Hey brother, if you don't mind, I'd like to make a suggestion that should help you- when you have all the long grass and weeds along everywhere you are going to edge, take the trimmer and clear a swath everywhere you will run the edger. It makes cutting the edge a lot easier without all the long stuff in the way or getting wrapped on the edger head. Love what you do and your work ethic. God bless you and your helper(s).

[@MikeFL2TX]

I use to do yards like this, ( but was never smart enough to record it lol) and after a quick walk of the yard I would run the mower or weed eater along the edge lines first. We got about $35-$75 for a yard like this. When I was young, I was taught mow, edge weed eat as the weed eater would get what the mower and edger missed.

Brian, you and your assistant did an awesome job on this place! In regard to the poison ivy, why not purchase and have on hand some paper jumpsuits to put on over your clothes, some paper shoe covers, and some plastic/ rubber gloves so you can handle this stuff as it comes up with minimal contact? After you are finished dealing with it, you just take it all off and throw them away! The things I’ve described are what they use in hospitals to prevent cross contamination without having to change into scrubs.

I would have taken the money from the property company. They are a for-profit company, not a charity. You might as well make a Benjamin or two in the process.
