who is responsible for pest extermination ?

By Tenant

I have been renting from same landlord for 2 years and started getting roaches and ants. Then spiders and and mice.  Now my question is, who is responsible for pest extermination ?  She has sent someone to do so in the past and had service for several months, but she is saying that I need to keep house clean and not attract them. What is true?

It is the tenant’s responsibility to consistently clean their places in order to prevent infestations. However, if this is the first time it happened, then you could always seek help from your landlord. In case of repetitive situation, you may be asked to pay for extermination depending on your agreement. You can file a complaint as well in case the problem arises to another level, here at RPA: http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php
