Texas Residential lease agreement to add "Pest Control terms"

[Sal Flores]

Hello BP'ers,

I have been using the Texas Residential Lease agreement (I am in El Paso TX) for some time now, besides this template does not have a specific term in regards of "Pest Control", other than it mentions to keep the property in good sanitary conditions.

1. Does anyone know if I can add a term to the agreement, to have tenant responsible for pest control after certanly weeks of taking possession of property?

2. Or if anyone knows where I can find out about this

Thank you

Sal

Pest Control • Any pests, including insects and rodents, not reported in writing within the first 5 days of the lease, will be assumed to have entered the property after the start of the lease. • You are responsible for keeping the property free of all pests (ants, roaches, fleas, ticks, silverfish, scorpions, rodents etc.), except termites. • Since you are our eyes on the property, please let us know if you see any termite activity. They usually swarm in the spring and you can’t miss them. Please notify our office immediately if you notice any signs of what you believe may be termites. • Please do not store wood against the exterior of the house. • We strongly recommend you use a licensed pest control company to manage pests rather than doing it yourself. If you need assistance selecting a pest control company, we can refer you to the one we use.
