Who is responsible for maintaining the landscaping?
The owner (not the tenant) is responsible for maintaining the landscaping, but FTI can coordinate the work. FTI employs several landscapers who are dispatched to properties once a week to maintain the landscaping. The landscaper bills FTI monthly and FTI pays the landscaper through the owner’s property trust account. The expense is referenced in the monthly account journals that are sent out by FTI. The tenant is responsible for watering the landscaping.
