[quote=spdrun]A one-year lease is temporary in the scheme of things for landscaping. So we’re not just just talking about bad landscaping, but about actually litter.[/quote]Yeah, my area is a “victim” of the “flipper-buy-and-hold phenomenon” of several years ago. And, to a lesser extent, the “heir-hold-forever-plan-cuz-property-taxes-are-minuscule” phenomenon.
Trash pickup costs twice as much if you order a family-sized waste-cart. So these young families try to get by with the smallest waste cart left behind at the property and overflow it weekly. If there is any trash sitting on the curb outside the can and it is not a bulky item (i.e. curtain rod or kid’s toy, etc), then it will not get picked up.
Seriously, these kids who can’t afford all the bills that go with renting an SFR (water, trash, sewer, gas and electric) should rent an apt/condo where some of them are traditionally paid by the LL.
