Treat The Home As Your Own
Renting a single-family home means more freedom, space, privacy, and enjoyment; it also means some responsibility. While ResiHome is responsible for major updates and maintenance issues, you, as a renter, are responsible for the routine upkeep of your home. This includes tasks such as landscaping, pest control, and winterizing your home.
Your Resident Responsibilities
- Routine lawncare (incl. mowing, watering, raking, trimming, etc.)
- Winterizing your home (prevent freezing of pipes, snow/ice removal, etc)
- Routine cleaning/maintaining appliances
- Replacement of light bulbs & air filters (every 3 months)

Irrigation System Details
(if applicable)
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 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
