Question:
I have a IP (townhouse in a complex of about 50) that has new tennants of about 8 weeks. First month they moved in there was about $400 of maintenance requests which I was OK with. This month they have requested another 3 things, 2 of which I am OK with as they are security issues but they want us to spray for cockroaches.
Im in two minds about agreeing to this as I spent 3 full days there painting and didnt see 1 cockroach and wonder if it is just a case of "oh my god there is a cockroach we have an infestation". The last tenant never had a complaint about this. As there are lots of townhouses in this complex and it is next to the bush, is it a waste of money getting it sprayed? How long does it last?
I'm begining to think our new tennants are going to be serial complainers, maybe I'm being too harsh.
Am I obliged to do a pest spray?
