Maintaining your home, together

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.
