I am a Landlord. I have a tenant in my basement apartment. They have a separate entrance at the back of my house. It is a stairway down to the basement door. Once inside this door there is a door to a shared laundry room and their separate apartment door. They let leaves and small sticks etc. build up inside this area and in the outside stairwell down to the basement. Do they have any responsibility to keep these areas clean? This leaf buildup outside can block a drain at the bottom of these outdoor steps and cause basement flooding. and the mess just inside the door way is just that, a mess. Do I have to do all of the cleaning in these areas?
