Before I begin, I would like to apologize for the title if it is confusing.
To start off, I have a single family home that I plan on renting out. I will not be residing in there and will be renting out the entire property to the tenant. In this case, obviously they will be responsible for handling the trash and cleaning up the property and its surrounding area. In the case they do receive a violation ticket due to their negligence of the rules, can I hold them accountable for the cost of such ticket? In the case I can, does this have to be in the lease agreement?
By having it within the lease, does that make it legally binding? Or is there a law against it, where the owner of the property is always responsible for any violation fees? In the case that they refuse to pay, I may take from the security deposit and/or revoke the lease if I choose to?
Why would you worry about a sanitation violation? Are your tenants known for such things? It's rather easy to avoid such tickets if they just put the garbage out at the right time and recycle.
As far as cleaning up the property, I've never seen sanitation give someone a ticket for a messy property. My next door neighbor did not cut their grass once this year or rake a single leaf and did not get any tickets. A person would have to be extremely derelict to get a ticket for not cleaning up their property.
A person will not recieve a summons for not mowing. If they like the natural look it is up to them. But if litter collects in the grass they can recieve a summons for dirty area go for not shoveling snow after a storm.
