If you rent a home with a yard, generally the lease states the landlord is responsible for trimming large plants and trees and the resident is responsible for watering and weed control. During the monsoon season weeds can get out of control within weeks.
We get numerous violation letters from Homeowner Associations regarding weeds during the spring and summer months A quick once or twice a month spraying of the yard with a weed or vegetation killer can save residents the time and cost of removing weeds. We often are required to pass along hundreds of dollars in weed removal charges and fines that could have been avoid with a few squirts of weed killer.
