Whether or not the owner pays for the water at the rental home or is paid by the tenant an explanation of appropriate water usage should be determined.
Many renters are uninformed and uneducated as to the best times and amounts to water their lawn or flowerbeds. It is the responsibility of the property manager to explain the correct manner for maximum results without being hit by skyrocketing cost.
If you are in doubt as to the best way to water your property, consult with your local water department. Their office can give you the best advice for your area taking into account temperature, soil type and varying watering techniques.
Your local water company will also come to the property and test your sprinkler system to assure the tenant isn’t watering too much. They can measure the output and you will be able to adjust the timer for maximum efficiency at minimum cost.
Be aware, when landscaping your property check with your local nursery for drought resistant plants and other types needed a minimum amount of water.

Why Prohibit Smoking?
Allowing smoking at your rental property can be a cause of complaints by your non-smoking tenants. Drifting smoke to, or inside of, a non smoking unit or the simple spread of the smell to a non smoking unit can be a source of problems. This can also cause a renter to require you, as the owner or manager, to move them to a smoke free unit at your expense. If the tenant is disabled or has health issues of any kind being subjected to second hand smoke can cause a habitability issue. Reading up on the Fair Housing Guidelines learning your states habitability rules can be especially helpful.
Aside from these issues, the cost of cleaning and repairs are saved when requiring your property to be non smoking. Non-smoking means to not allow smoking of any kind inside or outside the property. A smoking tenant, including their guests, must be located completely off of the property at all times when smoking.
