Pest control - who should foot the bill?

[Benjamin Hui]

Hi everyone,

I have two doors here.  But I have this one particular tenant, she's been calling me about pest issues, specially ants, twice in the last 6 months.  I have to call pest control and shelled out 100 each time.  Can you share with me how you deal with tenants who's got pest issue?

In my opinion, I think this is a tenant responsibility and they should food the bill.  I don't have it specifically in the lease, but I am thinking  for the next lease renewal or when she moves out and I would have it in the lease for the next tenant.  What's your thought?

Thanks,

Ben
