If there's a termite infestation, that would be beyond "ordinary" and handled by me.

A coworker lives in the area and said it is drug infested and cops there all the time.

When he left, it was infested with mice and fleas. 

Not saying that I wouldn't have my tenant also pay for pest control if there was an actual infestation that they were responsible for, but if their unit is spotless, and you don't see an infestation, I would expect some push back from the tenant. 

Even good tenants that are clean could bring back bedbugs from a trip, and then say your furniture was already infested. 

We also discovered one tenant's unit was trashed, a **** roach infestation, and greater amounts f damage from tenants to the property.The property is bank owned.

Saying they are the highest in the country, with the exception of New Jersey is about as ridiculous as saying all of Michigan is a gang infested slum, simply because parts of Detroit are.Also, Texas State sales tax is 6.25%, with local cities and municipalities adding on top, but it is capped by the state at 8.25%.  

Tenant agrees to be responsible formaintaining a clean environment to discourage pest infestation and agrees toreport to Landlord any signs of pest problems in a timely manner. 

Here is the list of problems: The front door barely opens, NONE of the doors close correctly, garage door has been replaced but the electrical still needs tackled, no doorbell, no fire alarms or carbon monoxide alarm, no working outside lights, a severe mice infestation (who have now raided my brand new couch), no insulation in the mudroom which is allowing cold air into the house and raising my heating (propane!)

Either the agent "bought the listing" by promising some ridicules price, or a stubborn owner who put a couple grand in upgrades and expects to get double that back plus labor.Bottom line, if the house was burned to the ground, infested, with 2 liens, but was worth $800,000 and would only take half of that to make all the problems go away... and the asking price was $1000..... it would be sold by nightfall.
