You first take care of your property.

You send the bill for the landscaper bill with a letter stating you expect payment in full with the May rent.

When he fails to pay it..on May 2 you post a "quit or pay" notice according to your state law. Include an itemization showing the money paid first applied to the landscape bill..the remainder to the May rent...with the amount of May rent left unpaid. Require payment within the notification days (in NY it is 3 days)

Then you file for eviction.

If he pays...as soon as his lease is up..give him the notice to move. You do not need to give a reason ... but maybe you could suggest to him that his next place be just a simple rock garden.

Oh...and in the future just make the rent sufficient to cover the landscaper. For me it is a great excuse to have one of my guys around the property...something always need trimming, pruning, etc. great way to know what is going on...and the neighbors will always tell you too.

Plus... you get to skip the drama from the tenant that doesn't want to pay for the service or is too lazy to actually do the work.
