FAQ

Tenant Pest Problems — your questions answered

What pest control is the tenant's responsibility?+

Tenants are generally responsible for pest issues caused by their activities (e.g. fleas from pets), keeping the property clean, and end of lease flea treatments if required by the lease. Check your lease for specifics.

Can I arrange pest treatment as a tenant?+

Yes. You can arrange and pay for pest treatment as a tenant. For end of lease treatments, we provide a certificate for your bond claim. For mid-tenancy issues, check your lease and discuss with your property manager first.

What if the pest problem was there when I moved in?+

If pest issues existed at the start of the tenancy, they may be the landlord's responsibility. Document the issue with photos and notify your property manager. We can provide a treatment quote for the landlord or property manager.
