I'd rather shovel 2 inches of snow six times than 12 inches of snow one time and is so much easier. It makes getting the final plow berm at the end of the driveway a piece of cake. I'm out during the storm a lot but I'm usually completely done before my neighbors have even started.

They're great until you need to return something. Despite this, my garage door is covered with their magnets from all my orders over the years.

The answer is that it depends. It could be a good faith charge because the landlord wants to background check people before touring the unit to them. This is common for single female landlords for example as a safety precaution.
My guess is that they’re probably using it as a revenue tool though to compensate for their time. Not super ethical IMO but not a scam.
It could also be a scam. It’s not unreasonable to ask for proof of ownership first.
Either way, it’s up to you. Unfortunately there aren’t often many options and landlords know this.

I snowblowed the walkways once already just to get out the house. I’ll do the rest when it’s done.

I have seen it quite a bit over the years, it’s quite the racket. Typically it’s $25. My advise, if you have to do it over the internet, I’d question it. In person would be less of a scam, but I have heard of this.

Did a pass with the snowblower and shoveled both decks at 6am and 9am. Will do one more round this afternoon. My snowblower doesn’t like the paste so I have to do it often.

Im a landlord and also maintenance for a pm company. First rule of renting is you get to see the place first, inside and out. No excuses. If there are, its a scam. Applications do cost money but maine has a hard cap on them at about 35 bucks so thats the second sign its a scam. Third sign is if you show up and they try to powerwalk you through the property, that means they have like 50 more people coming that day, all who are getting scammed out of cash.

These fees should be against the law. Landlord across the street from me was making more money showing the place than renting it.

One pass done. I’ll shovel again after the heaviest wave is done and maybe once more before bed. 2-3 times.

Depends on size and and method of removal. If I had a large driveway and a quality snowblower I’d probably wait until tonight/tomorrow morning.
If shoveling by hand, best to take 2 shifts.
