1. Water & Sewer, Electric, and Gas (Tenant to be billed directly from utility companies):
   • Track Usage: Be aware of your usage to manage costs. Consider using energy-efficient appliances, and turn off lights and devices when not in use.
   • Check Bills: Review your utility bills regularly for accuracy and ensure that all readings are correct.
2. Landscaping:
   • Routine Maintenance: Regularly mow the lawn, trim hedges, and remove any weeds to keep the landscaping clean and tidy. Don’t let it overgrow.
   • Watering: Water plants appropriately depending on weather conditions, ensuring they don’t dry out or become overwatered.
3. Cleaning Gutters:
   • Check Gutters Regularly: Clean gutters at least twice a year, especially after leaves fall, to prevent blockages that can lead to water damage or pest problems.
   • Avoid Ladder Safety Issues: When cleaning gutters, ensure you use a stable ladder and take safety precautions.
4. Snow Removal:
   • Stay on Top of Snow: After each snowfall, promptly shovel walkways, driveways, and any areas that people will walk to prevent accidents. This is especially important in icy weather.
   • Use Salt or Sand: If necessary, use salt or sand to help with traction and prevent ice buildup.
5. Sidewalks Maintenance:
   • Keep Pathways Clear: Regularly sweep and maintain any sidewalks leading to your residence, removing dirt, debris, or snow to ensure safety.
   • Inspect for Damage: Check for cracks or damage to prevent tripping hazards.
6. Household Garbage:
   • Follow Pickup Schedule: Ensure that garbage is properly bagged and placed out according to the city’s pickup schedule. Keep your trash bins clean to avoid odors and pests.
7. Interior & Exterior Maintenance:
   • Routine Inspections: Regularly inspect both the inside and outside of the property. Address issues like leaks, damages, or any items that require repair in a timely manner.
   • Clean Regularly: Make sure to clean all areas of the house consistently, including floors, windows, and other surfaces.
8. Pest Control:
   • Document Issues: If you notice any pests, make sure to report them with pictures within the first 15 days of moving in, using the maintenance form.
   • Prevent Infestation: Keep food sealed and garbage covered. Check for cracks or gaps in windows and doors, and seal them if necessary.
9. Mildew and Mold:
   • Ventilation: Always use the exhaust fan while showering or open a window to reduce moisture buildup. If exhaust fans are unavailable, leave the bathroom door open and wipe up excess moisture immediately after a shower.
   • Report Issues Early: If you notice any signs of mildew or mold, fill out a maintenance report with details and photos right away to address the problem quickly.
10. General Recommendations:
    • Routine Reports: Keep track of any issues you notice, and report them to your landlord or property manager within the designated time frame to avoid disputes.
    • Respect Property: Treat the rental property as your own to avoid unnecessary repairs or damage that could result in deductions from your security deposit.

By staying proactive and following these responsibilities, you can ensure a smooth tenancy and maintain a healthy living environment.
