Lawn Care & Gardening: A Down-To-Earth Guide to the Business

Last summer, I lived in the country and the house we were renting had a 1.5 acre lawn area. In late June, I as laid off and things got very tough, we could barely afford food and the power but managed to make it. Our sad little push mower died and was beyond repair, we certainly could not afford a new one. The lawn started to get long and our landlord began to threaten us over it saying he would be charging us over $1,000 to have a lawn service cut it and when I found a friend willing to help me with it, the landlord wouldn’t let him do it. We moved to an apartment and I got a new job. Now, that old landlord is suing us for $2,500 for not maintaining that lawn! What is the best way to fight this in Civil Court? I have never had to go to court for anything before, I’m a little worried.
It was a part of our lease that the lawn be maintained, but not by anyone in particular. You would think not being able to pay for necessary things would call for mercy but I guess not.

Actually, I did tell him about the problems we had. He blatantly said “I really don’t care”.

I have just a bit left of summer vacation and i’m getting bored…

i’m going to mow people’s lawns, trim their bushes, maintain their garden and pull weeds.

how much should i charge them?
