In countries I lived in, it is the tenants' responsibility to maintain the property and its surroundings. Tenants need to move the lawn, cut the trees back, shovel snow, get out the weeds, remove algae off the patio, etc. For flats, concierge service and maintenance is built in the monthly payment, usually included of the lease fee that the landlord pays (about £3/sqft/mo in the UK).
