When I leased this house a year ago (brand new home), the landlord stated in many emails (which I still have) that the backyard landscaping would be done, at his expense. He had a patio put in, but they left huge chunks of concrete in the yard and never came back to finish up, and they ruined the underground watering system at the front of the house near the side fence. The owner was notified over and over about this. The concrete is too big for me to move and I'm not paying to fix the mess they made.
The yard is a total overgrown mess, I've never been able to use it in ANY form, which I estimate to be about 20% of the property.
I'm getting ready to move. My lease states that I am responsible for yard upkeep, which I have in the front yard (which was ladscaped by the builder), but not the backyard.
Will this come back to bite me in the behind, or do I have legal rights, with the copies of emails, etc., that I was/am not responsible for the yards condition. THANKS!!
