I don't blame the people living there for not mowing the lawn, that is the landlords fault not theirs.

Like 9 Eminem impersonators that happen to share a house? Could a single city really support 9 different Eminem impersonators? The first few that got into the business I get, but unless the 9th guy was just incredible he really should have gone in a different direction.
That depends on their rental agreement.
My suggestion is just communicate with the renters directly and politely. Most of the time if you nicely approach someone not to do something they will listen. Option 2 keep your hose handy..... heheheheh
Thanks for the clarification. Having them crowd your property is a little strange. It's a little hard to be neighborly while telling someone that doesn't speak English to get off your property.
If you go home tonight and there's an Indian flag in your back yard, you may have been annexed. I'd rent Red Dawn for pointers on how to proceed,
The Indian reference may be relevant. Fences are very important in many Indian cultures. If you own property, but don't put up a fence, you actually may lose some of your rights to the land. Or more specifically, you lose your right to prevent someone from coming on the land. Even a very low fence sends the message about a property line.
I would arrange a neighbor get together. Get Indian carryout to serve. Find someone who speaks English and talk about it casually as a cultural matter. There are probably a few misunderstandings that need to be worked out on both sides. If you don't find a mediator, then you are likely to encounter more incidents.

The landlord has told me that his hired man will mow the yard (3 weeks ago) they said they were getting a hitch put on their RV so that they could bring their zero turn in to mow it. At the time I actually offered to mow it for him for $20, but he said he was having his hired man do it. I
I have renters next door and I am crazy about my lawn (it looks amazing). I yell at my renter neighbors about staying off of it. What difference does it make to me what some douchebag kids think about it? It shouldn't matter to you either.
Fences make good neighbors.
Don't forget some cupcakes and stuffed teddy bears so you guys can hug it out.
I used to live in an area where we had to irrigate because it was very sandy. I took great pride in my weed free lawn. My neighbor didn't take care of his yard-even turned off his irrigation system. I didn't speak to him because he was a bigoted, racist pr1ck. He had a dog for a while that started taking dumps in my yard. The first couple of times I thought no big deal, but when I mowed and found a couple dozen turds in my yard I got ticked and flung them all onto his driveway-no way he could miss them. After that, I didn't have a problem.
Not really relevant to your situation, other than a bad neighbor.

I think identifying their nationality is relevant considering there is an obvious linguistic & cultural barrier. They're obviously not accustomed to lot lines and yard maintenance. They probably don't have a clue how to run a lawnmower. Maybe they are just rude; maybe they just don't get it. Maybe both.
This is definitely a landlord issue. It's his responsibility to communicate the expectations of their neighborhood. I'd definitely go after him with everything you got. Is fencing in your budget? That'd send a pretty clear message.

I reckon the reasonable thing to do is to ask them not to do it anymore.
This sounds awkward as ****.
Depends on the lease agreement. I lived in a Townhouse in VA and the tenants were responsible for mowing their own yards.
Well, it could also be a cultural thing regarding "property rights". Most of the land in India is government owned. Regular everyday folks don't own property in India so the USA "our home is our castle" could be a little "foreign" to them.
Find out what tribe they belong to and make the traditional offering of tobacco.
In Texas we'd shoot 'em... legally. But since they're new I'd probably just fire a warning shot.
