If in the lease of the house we are renting it does not state we have to do repairs just up keep do we have to redo the lawn because it is all weeds. The landlord gave us the house originally with all weeds for a lawn. It does state in the lease that we have to abide by HOA, but HOA only regulates how much we water, fertilize and whether the grass is cut. Now how would you go about killing the weeds and growing grass in florida the best and cheapest way. We put weed and feed down and grass seed but nothing is happening its been about 2 weeks. Is there specific brands we need, grass seed (we used Bermuda) any suggestions please help. With the suggestion please be sure they are safe for dogs and kids.
