Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
A lease is an agreement, a contract, and parties can pretty much make any agreement they want between themselves. If you don't want to be responsible for trimming and removing the trees, see if you can get the landlord to remove that clause from the lease before you sign it. If the landlord insists, don't sign the lease, but you will have to live elsewhere.
