Paying for Critter Control
There was a problem with rodents getting into the house and the tenants were complaining, so I hired a service to solve the problem. The initial cost and monthly visits were quite expensive, so I said I would do the initial phase and stop the problem now, but I am not going to pay for the whole year, I did 4 months. The property management told me this is a problem in the whole area and most landlords in that area agree that it is their responsibility. I feel I have done enough and the tenants need to take some responsibility from here on out. Am I wrong? Should I continue the service? One year is well over 1K. Thought?
