Dealing with Pesky Pests

As temperatures soar during the summer months, so too does pest activity. Heatwaves create ideal conditions for insects and rodents, resulting in a noticeable increase in reports of ants, flies, wasps, rodents and other unwelcome visitors finding their way into rental homes.

Whilst many pest issues are relatively straightforward to resolve, they can quickly become probelmatic if it is unclear who is responsible for dealing with them. This is where a well-drafted tenancy agreement, supported by good communication between landlord and tenant, becomes invaluable.
