About 1,260 households live in Cuba. About three quarters of the homes are detached houses and about four in ten occupied homes are lived in by their owners. Half the homes were built before 1978. With that many rentals, a tree at a rented home usually goes to the landlord or property manager first; the lease generally says who arranges and pays for tree work.
