No major landscaping work is required, but tenants are expected to prevent neglect of the outdoor space. HVAC air filters shall be replaced by tenants at least once every three (3) months, or more frequently if needed based on usage or pet occupancy. Tenants shall promptly report maintenance issues, leaks, appliance malfunctions, or other concerns that could result in damage to the property if left unaddressed.
