Oh rats and rats and the law

[RJ Dixon]

Hello BP !

My question today is I'm in a bit of a pickle. I currently rent out a townhome. This townhome was previous treated for rats. I recently turned over this property and have new tenants in place. The tenants are now wanting to move out one month in. I have no problem treating the rats as HOA covers that. I tried to send them to the HOA lady herself to schedule it but the tides turned. The HOA lady loves to talk and gossip and told my tenants that the house was previous treated. Now they are saying i misrepresentation the home and threatening to sue, if I don't release them from the lease and give back the security deposit. I have also answered there every call for basic maintenance. Sent someone the next day each time. I pride myself in having a nice clean home to rent out but rats happen especially in Florida. Any Opinions on how I should handle this matter ?
