[QUOTE="FordSVTFan, post: 9646907, member: 2243"] I started to read your questions but you are trying to make them sound legal/technical and it hurt my head. I am a Tampa Bay landlord. I have a bunch of residential properties and a few commercial properties. I deal with lawn issues all the time because of the unique nature of maintaining a lawn in Florida with all the diseases and insects. I am also a Florida license Attorney who has helped friends and co-workers involved in landlord tenant issues, however, I am not offering you legal advice. The controlling document will be the lease. If the lease specifically states you are required maintain the lawn and prevent damage from disease and insects then you must do that. Being that this is Florida most professional leases make the tenant responsible for moving and watering but not pest/disease control. Additionally, the landlord must give the tenant time to cure any deficiency he believes to exist during the lease period. If the landlord is going to use any part of the security deposit to repair the property due to a tenant deficiency, the tenant must be notified in writing prior to the landlord making any claim against the security as to give the tenant time to contest it or cure it on his own. I would refer directly to the lease to see what you responsibilities are in connection to the lawn itself. Also, did you happen to take pictures on your move in? Did the landlord? Also, if the landlord made the repairs under threat of the HOA then there are other things at play and the details of the lease become even more important. Was this rented through a management company or through the homeowner himself? If it is the homeowner, how many properties does he rent out? There is a lot to this that cant be fully addressed here. I would recommend consulting with a Florida licensed attorney in regard to this matter. Disclaimer: This advice does not substitute for a full consultation with a Florida licensed attorney and I am not accepting you as a client. [/QUOTE]
