Can landlords cut trees if they're causing inconvenience to tenants?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Landlord is usually responsible for pruning and maintaining trees, shrubs and hedges, and removing the cuttings. They Landlord also has an obligation to not permit interference with the tenants’ quiet enjoyment of the property along with complying with health requirements, which may include ensuring the trees are not blocking the sun - especially if the covering results in dampness.
If you want to trim or prune the trees you should seek the Landlord’s consent before doing so (some trees may be protected).
However, tenants also have responsibilities to keep the premises reasonably clean and tidy. This could include tree maintenance - cleaning leaves, etc.
