Lawn maintenance and irrigation tips

Ensuring that your lawn is well-watered is an important part of properly maintaining your rental home, so it’s important to note the following:

If your home is new, keep the current sprinkler setting for one month, unless told otherwise, to allow the sod to grow properly.
All other times, please adjust your sprinkler settings in line with your county or municipality usage regulations or to your preferred setting (recommended twice per week, 15 mins each time).

Depending on the location of your rental home, an average water bill with irrigation costs included can range anywhere between $150-200/month after your first month.
Maintaining a healthy lawn is part of your standard resident responsibility.
