The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the “Act”) is the law that governs most residential rental agreements in Ontario. The Act sets out the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants, and establishes procedures for resolving disputes.
Under the Act, landlords are responsible for general property maintenance, such as lawn care, snow shoveling, eavestrough cleaning, and so on. Tenants are responsible for keeping their rental unit clean and in good repair, and for paying their rent on time.
If there is a problem with the property that is the landlord’s responsibility to fix, the tenant can give the landlord written notice of the problem. If the landlord does not fix the problem within a reasonable time, the tenant can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for an order requiring the landlord to make the repairs.
The Act also sets out the rules for how landlords can end a tenancy, and how tenants can end their rental agreement early.
The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 is an important law that protects the rights of landlords and tenants. It is important for both landlords and tenants to familiarize themselves with the Act, so that they know their rights and obligations.
How much do you tip for yard work
If you have people who regularly come to your home for services like cleaning or lawn mowing, it’s a good idea to tip them. While the amount you tip is subjective for home services, anywhere between 10 to 20 percent depending on the level of service and what you feel comfortable giving is good.
1. Work in stages: Don’t try to clear the entire yard in one go. Work in sections and take a break in between to avoid getting overwhelmed.
2. Have the right tools: Invest in a good pair of gloves, a rake, and a pair of shears.
3. Remove the debris: Start by removing any dead leaves, branches, and other debris.
4. Decide what you’re keeping (and not keeping): Once the area is cleared, decide which plants you want to keep and which ones you want to get rid of.
5. Mow open areas: Mow any open areas to help neaten up the yard.
6. Define edges: Use a shovel or garden hose to define edges between different areas of the yard.
7. Prune shrubs and trees: Prune any shrubs and trees to help them look tidy.
8. Talk to a professional: If you’re unsure about anything, talk to a professional landscaper for advice.
Are tenants supposed to mow the lawn?
The tenant is responsible for keeping the garden litter-free, reasonably tidy and not overgrown. This includes mowing the lawn regularly and keeping on top of weeding.
Landlords are not able to ask tenants to make improvements to the garden, but they can expect the garden to be in a similar state at the end of the tenancy. Tenants can usually be made responsible for mowing the lawn and weeding.
Does landlord need to provide lawnmower?
It is a good idea for landlords to provide garden equipment to tenants if they have been specifically allocated gardening duties in the tenancy agreement. This will ensure that the tenant has the necessary tools to carry out their gardening duties.
It is always a nice gesture to tip Lawn-mowing crews, snowplow drivers, oil-truck drivers, and sprinkler servicers—especially if you feel they have provided exemplary service throughout the year. Keep in mind, however, that you should only tip employees, not the business owner, and only if you see the same guys come around every time. Additionally, it is best to tip once a year as close to the holidays as you can, rather than at the time of service.
Can I tip over my lawn mower
Here’s exactly why you don’t want to tip your mower up like this: you will get some more oil in the engine, which can lead to some serious problems. So, be sure to keep your mower level at all times to avoid any issues.
A good rule of thumb for tipping a handyman is to give them the equivalent of one day’s pay, or 10-15% of the total charge for a large job. For smaller tasks, you can simply round up the bill to the nearest dollar. So, if your handyman does a great job and you have a bill for $85, you may want to consider giving them a $100 tip.

How do you ask your neighbor to clean up their yard
If your neighbor isn’t keeping up with their yard or property, you can contact your local government. They may be able to issue a citation or notice that will give your neighbor a set amount of time to clean up. If they still don’t comply, the city can take action to clean up the property and bill the owner.
A landlord cannot enter your rental premises, including the yard, for any reason without giving 24 hours written notice and obtaining your consent to enter.
Can my landlord charge me for gardening?
As a tenant, it is important to remember that you must always ask your landlord for permission before making any changes to the rental property’s garden. If you do not ask for permission, or if your landlord has refused permission, and you still go ahead with the work, the landlord will be able to charge you for the cost of returning the garden to its original state.
