Rehab Question:

What do you do with a house that has tons of mice running around? Do you follow any specific "mediation" practices?

I understand the mice will leave after the home is gutted but I'm loo...

Eventually we will have a situation not only a drain issue but also mold remediation and termite infestation etc...May be they don't care but playing the game and in the end I am more concerned and wanted this done so it falls on me to make it happen.

They look into title issues, environmental hazards, flood likelhood, zoning, encroachments, pest infestations, CCR's, comps, plumbing, electrical, safety, structural, radon, sex offenders, planned highway projects, etc.   

They are horrible, crime infested areas.  

My girlfriend moved in on Monday and found out that the apartment has a flea infestation the very next day.

Hard to assess that without knowing the scope of services you need and what the bid entails.We had a huge rat infestation problem at the primary home of my elderly mother.

Ants are part of life this time of year, and there isn't an infestation by any means (I worked in their house last week) and live next door.

https://www.ohiobar.org/forpublic/resources/lawfactspamphlets/pages/lawfactspamphlet-11.aspxObligation of landlord Maintain in good working condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating and air conditioning systems, and fixtures and appliances you have supplied.If you have notified your landlord, in writing, of problems at your rental property or of an insect or rodent infestation, the landlord should remedy the problems within a “reasonable” amount of time.

But essentially, your lease should state you are renting the lessee an apartment that is free of infestation and that any future infestation is the fault of the tenant.
