Am I legally responsible for pruning a tree in my rented house?

Too many landlords take the p*ss and give the rest of us a bad name far too often.

There is nothing wrong with agreeing terms with your tenants.

I'm pretty sure the OP never agreed to prune the tree! If that's what the landlord wanted then they should have specifically stated so in the agreement.

Truth is the OPs landlord is stretching the meaning of a very woolly clause i.e. they are taking the p*ss.

Are you actually a landlord? I've read a lot of the carp you've posted on here over the last few weeks and feel very sorry for any tenants of yours.

You don't know what the "truth" is.

This is exactly how you are on these forums. You just pick and b1tch pedantically at other peoples points while at the same time coming across as though you know the grand total of carp all.

according to the clause in our tenancy agreement "to keep the garden neat and free from weeds".

That's clear enough for me. Their landlord is taking the p*ss, pure and simple.
