Tree surgeons in Leeds: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home, you're responsible for managing any trees on your property. But before cutting or removing a tree, check if it's:

• Covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
• Located in a conservation area
• Subject to local planning restrictions

If so, you’ll need permission from Leeds City Council before any work begins.

Renters

Renting a flat or house in Leeds and worried about a tree? Your first step should be your landlord or letting agent. It’s their responsibility to keep trees safe and deal with any hazards. In shared or managed properties, contact the building manager or housing association.

Landlords

As a landlord, it’s your job to ensure trees on your rental properties are kept in good condition. That means responding to safety issues, complying with legal requirements, and using qualified tree surgeons for any work.

Strong winds, heavy rain and disease can cause trees to fall or become unstable. Emergency tree surgeons can help with urgent issues such as:
