Rental Trash Violation Responsibility

Summary

In a month-to-month lease, tenant responsibilities for trash disposal should be reviewed in the lease agreement. If no specific provisions exist, tenants are generally responsible for their trash. However, if the code violation is addressed to the landlord, it may be worth discussing the situation with them.
