The leaf shape in your photo seems more like a young Norway maple. Iris, do
correct me if I'm wrong about that.

I didn't see the picture. I have rarely seen Norway maple with leaf scorch in
the Northeast, so I doubt they would get it in Michigan year after year. The
most likely to get it would be Japanese maple or some other exotic species. The
tenant or his landlord should consult a field guide.
