How to handle possible flea problem with vacating tenant?
All of my rentals have been 'no pet' properties, but...
I have a tenant leaving soon who brought in an "assistance" animal - a dog.
So I have a few questions.
If you know the tenant has a dog, do you require them to flea-bomb when they vacate?
I've been reading that all surfaces should be cleaned after fogging since it's poisonous.
I do require professional carpet cleaning on move-out, and proof of it with a receipt.
Should I let tenant know they are required to use a professional exterminator service in the house & yard?
Or do it myself after they move out & bill it from the SD?

Some dogs also take a medicine that repels fleas. Ask if the assistance dog does. I would not charge unless there are fleas.
