    I've got one of those, it's great for a smallish lawn (I use it without the grass box). Got mine for about £20.00 in an Argos sale a couple of years ago.

    You're going to have to buy one of course lol, is this a wind up??!

    Or buy a strimmer? Is there no cupboard where you can keep one? Or even a waterproof cover to throw over whilst it's outside?

    I thought if the landlord wanted a tenant to maintain the land outside, that they had to provide the tools to do it. I'm sure I read that somewhere, and our last landlord did that. There was no grass but they gave us shears and brooms and things.

    As I said earlier:
    Does the landlord provide a vacuum cleaner? Or a loo brush? No? But hopefully you'll be keeping the carpets (and lavatory) reasonably clean.....

    Thanks for all your responses. I actually love gardening and unfortunately had agreed to leave my buyers my lawnmower before I found the rental. Why I asked was because there is nowhere to keep it. The only cupboard where you could keep it is under the stairs and as he has installed brand new off white carpet throughout the downstairs, I was a bit worried about dragging it over. But hey, in the grand scale of things, it ain't much of a problem.
