Editor:
What is happening in my neighbourhood? I am fed up with the rental homes in my area either occupied or empty with uncut lawns and overgrown existing gardens.
It is a total disgrace and disrespectful to the people who take care of their homes. I have spoken to two of my rental neighbours who do not even have a rake, lawnmower or any other lawn-and-garden equipment. I have asked to speak with their landlords (some local, some offshore) to try and get something done.
I have had no responses to date. How difficult is it to mow a lawn and weed a garden? If only they could take care of their property as they do their shiny, expensive cars in the driveway.
Show some respect or move into a condo where no lawn/garden maintenance is required. Don't be afraid to speak to these renters who neglect the property and ask them to clean it up.
