Hello folks, I`m just getting my lease agreement together for a house I closed on last Friday and I was wondering about a couple things. I did a search here and it appears that in Ontario at least LL`s cannot add a snow removal/grass cutting clause to the lease itself - it must be a separate agreement. I don`t believe this is the case here in SK (though I am now going to have to check!) so I would like to do this.
The house I purchased has a small walkway and lawn. Can anyone suggest wording of a clause requiring the tenant to maintain these areas? Should I specify time frame in days? What do I lay out as recourse (if any) for non-compliance? I am planning on providing a decent snow shovel and a giant bag of salt and a salt `shaker` for the tenant. And, in the summer, a decent mower will be provided. Mostly, I am looking to cover myself as best as possible with the wording because some quick google searching did not bring anything that leads me to believe in SK I cannot build this into the lease.
Thanks
Kris
