Rodent infestations happen when animals like mice or rats take over your rented home, which will pose a serious danger to your health and safety.
Rodents can also cause property damage. They can chew through walls, furniture, and electrical wires. This can lead to fires and other safety hazards.
If your landlord does not take action to control a rodent infestation, you may be able to sue them.
If you see any signs of rodent infestation, you may be entitled to both extermination of the infestation and compensation for your troubles.
It is important to take action immediately. In the meantime, to protect yourself:
Putting food in airtight containers
Sealing up any cracks or holes in your home
Cleaning up any rodent droppings or nesting materials
Using traps or bait to catch the rodents
If you see any signs of a rodent infestation, you may be entitled to both extermination of the infestation and compensation for your troubles.
Rodent droppings are a common sign of an infestation. They are small, dark, and pellet-shaped. You may also see live rodents or hear them scurrying around.
Rodents can cause a lot of property damage. They can chew through walls, furniture, and electrical wires. They can also contaminate food and spread disease.
Rodents are active at night, so you may hear them scurrying around or scratching in the walls.
Rodents will gnaw on anything they can find, including wood, plastic, and even metal. This can cause damage to your property.
Rodents will build nests out of anything they can find, including insulation, paper, and fabric. This can also cause damage to your property.
Rodents can chew through electrical wires, which can cause fires. This is a very serious hazard.
