Thanks for you opinion. But I'm not the type to provide free landscaping services. Especially after spending about 12 hours and $150 cleaning the place for these people when I moved in.

They've said nothing about the bushes, but a couple of weeks ago, someone came over and pulled a bunch of weeds out of the yard and left them in a pile in our driveway. They weren't very big, 4-6...

So, if when I moved in, there were 2 large dead hydrangea bushes in front of the house, I'm not responsible for removing them?

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan

Looking over my lease, it says tenant is responsible for "grounds." This seems incredibly vague... I've been mowing the lawn, but...

My mother passed away in 2006. The money that she was left in...

Right. I guess I was just curious about the burden of proof here--whether an employer can just say "Nope, it's not gender-based." But now that I think about it, it was a stupid question. Thanks...

1. I figured she didn't have a claim, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
