unless it is on your lease i don't beleive so. Because if someone falls its he/shes butt not yours. Alot of times landlords wil adjust rent if there tenant is willing to shovel in the winter and cut grass in the summer. So if your willing suggest rent decrease for your time spent outside.

Snow removal ordinances are specific to the town in which you live. Most towns that get snow even occasionally have ordinances that specify who is responsible for snow removal, how much time you have to remove it, and what may happen if you don't. Check your town's website. Under the department of public works is probably your answer. Responsibility is usually held by either the property occupant (renter or otherwise) or property owner. These ordinances definitely vary from town to town, so don't assume everyone does the same thing!
In some locations where the owner is ultimately responsible, they may give this responsibility to you as an addendum to your lease. If you have a copy of the signed lease for your rental unit, you may want to check the fine print.
A rough rule of thumb though: in most places, the occupant (current resident) may be held responsible for snow removal unless your building has adjacent property that is commonly shared (like a parking lot or common entrance).

develop into the tree in starting to be on your backyard or the friends backyard? that is an significant situation. If it develop into the friends tree, then the friends coverage may ought to pay for its elimination and any and all damage carried out to the landlords domicile. I agree you jumped the gun in hiring someone to do it. and considering you probably did it without the landlords authorization, you're stuck with the bill. you do not comprehend what the owner develop into planning or if it develop into even his difficulty. He would were waiting on the reassurance corporation, his or the owner of the tree's. coverage agencies are sluggish to reply as they dont pick to pay. you've gotten been inconvenienced through no longer with the flexibility to apply the lower back door, yet you probably did have a the front door. Sorry, it truly is your bill. And ninety 9% of the judges may say an similar ingredient in case you didnt have permission from the owner. And no, you may't deduct it from the employ. Then the owner may evict you for non-price of finished employ and it would want to result your credit. He also does no longer ought to resume the employ. He would pick you to be a month to month tenant.

i think you're responsible, unless it was writen in the contract that the landlord will do it, just like you should cut your own grass, unless agreed that the landlord does it

Maintenance of anything outside of your residence, if not agreed to in your lease, is not your responsibility.
