Pest Control Duties
Maintain a pest-free property by understanding your responsibilities clearly.
Pest Control Responsibilities
Entry points, sanitation, treatment scope, and prevention.
| Topic | Owner / Landlord (Typical) | Tenant (Typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Entry points | Address structural gaps/penetrations when verified. | Report gaps; keep food sealed; maintain sanitation. |
| Treatment scope | Owner if building-wide/entry-related is verified. | Tenant if housekeeping-driven conditions are primary. |
| Rodents | Address exterior access and building conditions. | Manage trash; report droppings promptly. |
| Bedbugs | Protocol-driven; case-specific response. | Follow prep steps; report early; avoid self-treating. |
What to Do First
Fastest Resolution Comes From Clear Info.
- Upload Photos Of Evidence (Droppings, Entry Points).
- List Where/When Sightings Occur.
- Confirm Sanitation Steps Taken And Trash Schedule.
- If Bites Suspected, Contact Immediately—Do Not Self-Treat.
How LPM Handles Responsibility Disputes
- Stabilize first (stop damage, restore essential services).
- Document objectively (photos, notes, timestamps, history).
- Determine cause (wear vs misuse vs building condition).
- Apply lease + standards; communicate a written decision.
