I would want the tenant out so I could get the rodent problem under control and get a full scope of the termite damage.That is what I would be concerned with as well as your re-tenant and lost rent costs until you rent the unit out again.Since you own a duplex they have shared walls.You have to make sure the other tenant is clean or the pest control service will make ZERO DIFFERENCE.The reason is even if you put poison down but food is available the pest will leave the poison and eat the food.You have to close off all exterior gaps of the building,keep tree branches away from critters getting in,keep trash in trash cans and away from the building for pick up,clean unit top to bottom,pull out stove and fridge in kitchen and degrease and sanitize.After years of recycling tenants you would not believe what builds up back there that attracts and breeds pests.Good Luck

Kevin Breed did you say you wanted to be my mentor?

Half the time I was either choking from laughter or holding in vomit Did i tell you that one about the Luxury cats house (the Luxury was select breed cats).The flies died in the windows from the smell... somebody touring the house should NOT have opened the fridge.....

Granted, the trades tend to breed oversized egos, so it can be a challenge to find a disarming approach, but it can be worth the effort.

All that will do is breed discontent and damage the relationship.

The trouble with that was with the gasoline rationing, there weren't many cars on the road.The only reason that many breeds of dog survived the rationing was that they were fed road kill.

Some airlines don’t allow certain dog breeds to fly in the hot summer season (think Boxer or dogs with Brady cephalic heads).

It is a very competitive market which lends itself to a lot of corruption, which breeds "douchey" people.

About a month later, it put the house back on the market, this time for rent, for $1,575 a month.A new breed of homeowners has arrived in this middle-class suburb of Nashville and in many other communities around the country: big investment firms in the business of offering single-family homes for rent.

Also, you are probably aware I'm sure, but some if not all at this point, will not cover tentants that own any of the vicious breeds of dogs (pit bulls, Rottweilers, etc.).
