    Not being funny but if the tennants want them trimmed and you want them trimmed then I would just trim them.

    As previous poster said - Good Friday Weekend. Genius.

    I have rented and let out a fair few propertys over the years and I have yet to see an inventory which listed trees in the garden or the height of the specific trees.

    Sometimes its better to act than to ask persmission.

    Leylandii are shallow rooted and I would think it unlikely their roots would do damage.

    What can be problematic is the amount of moistire they suck out of the ground - if you have clay soil this can cause it to shrink with the risk of subsidance.

    The other problem is obviously blockage of light.

    To be honest they really need to be trimmed every year to stay in control.
