Who Is Responsible For Pest Control In Rental Properties?
If pests are a problem in your rental, start by checking your lease for any clauses that outline responsibilities related to pest control. However, in most instances, the responsibility for pest control in a rental falls squarely on the shoulders of the tenant.
Landlords are responsible for ensuring that the property is clean, livable, and free of pests before you move in – so if you notice mice, rats, cockroaches, or ants at the very beginning of your tenancy, you should report this immediately. However, if a pest infestation begins during your tenancy, you are usually responsible for handling the pest control – especially if your actions are directly linked to the infestation. e.g. your pet has fleas, or pests have been attracted to your rental because of neglected cleaning.
Keeping Your Rental Property Pest-Free
The best way to prevent serious pest infestations is to keep your rental property clean and clutter-free. If you have pets, ensure their flea treatments are up to date.
If you do notice pests starting to move in, act quickly to have them removed before the infestation grows larger and more costly to manage.
