The best time for pest control is before you see roaches, spiders, ants, termites, etc. Being proactive in this area is a good idea, but can often be forgotten about, especially if this is your first rental home and haven’t experienced this problem.
A question that often doesn’t come up until it’s too late -Who’s responsible to provide pest control in a rental property, the tenant or the landlord?
- Tenant
- Homeowner
- Property Manager
Answer:
Another trick question…It depends.
In some states, pest control is mandatory and required by local health code laws, especially if your rental property is multi-family since infestations are harder to control in multi-family properties.
