They should come out re-inspect and if activity is found they should treat it for free (included in inspection/renewal fee) if no activity they may offer suggestions to suppress future infestations and this should go on and on.

Buy house with termites?
17 January 2020 | 10 replies
@David Jesse Personally if the seller agreed to completely repair isolated termite infested area with licensed, bonded and insured pest control company prior to closing, I would still do the deal.If repaired properly, especially with cinder block style home, termites alone would not stop me.Yes you would want to disclose the termites on the seller disclosure once you go to sell, but have paid invoices on hand from when repairs were completed by current seller and encourage buyers to have their own home inspection completed and you should be just fine.

Biggest Problems With Tenants...
3 November 2007 | 45 replies
If you are a newbie, you will not believe the conditions tenants will tolerate rather than getting prompt, proper, repairs done.I just re-rented a luxury home where the prior tenant never complained during a five year tenancy about anything, and due to very unusual circumstances a thorough interim inspection was never done:Range hood inopClothes dryer inopGarbage disposal inop5 of 7 exterior area lights inop; two interior circuits inop1 of 6 toilets inop3 of 5 air conditioners inoppool sweep inop5 sets exterior french door handsets so pitted you cut your hand opening the doorsrodent infestation in atticAll this in addition to nearly a complete repaint, stripping and resealing floors that had improper products applied, replacing 4 rooms of carpet, and minor miscellaneous items.Believe me, I would have MUCH preferred to make these repairs as they occurred, paying out of the cash flow, rather than having the owner fork over nearly 20K to make it rent ready again!
