Hi all,
Had an email today from my PM saying that the tenants in one of my Cairns properties has called to say they are having a problem with mice...they have apparently put down mouse traps, but they clearly haven't caught them all.
Surely the tenant has more responsibility than this to eradicate them - ie using mouse/rat poison, which is available at the supermarket (RatSack in the manhole has always worked wonders for us..and costs about $5). The are requesting pest control.
They are relatively new tenants, their last inspection was fine, and the house is less then 3yrs old. For all I know they might be leaving food scraps around..
Have had a quick look at the RTA site, but cant find anything relevent.
Can I refuse pest control at this stage? Seem a bit of overkill...
