Who’s responsible for rodents?

[Hunter Heimer]

I will be moving into a new apartment soon (for college) and I am aware of some nice and squirrel problems. I have contacted the landlord multiple times requesting that they be addressed before I move in. We’ll move in day is right around the corner and she has not addressed them still. Is there anything I can do to make sure it is taken care of? For reference I am in Minnesota. And in the lease, it states that “the tenant is responsible for pest control costs if it is determined that they are the cause of the infestation” but being that’s haven’t moved in yet it should also be free of charge. Thanks I’m advanced!
