Pest Infestation Claims

What Are Pest Infestation Claims?

Pest infestation claims typically arise when pests such as rats, mice, cockroaches, bedbugs, or ants invade a property. Infestations can be a result of various factors, including poor property maintenance, neglect from a landlord, or the failure to carry out adequate pest control measures. Infestations can cause significant distress, property damage, and potential health issues, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or those with underlying health conditions.

Common causes of pest infestations include:

• Poor property maintenance: Cracks, gaps, or other structural weaknesses in a property can allow pests to enter and establish colonies, leading to infestations.
• Lack of pest control measures: Landlords and property managers are legally required to ensure that properties are free from pests. Failing to implement regular pest control measures can result in infestations.
• Unclean living conditions: While tenants have a duty to maintain cleanliness, landlords must ensure that the property is suitable for habitation and free from environmental factors that could attract pests.

If you are a tenant and your rental property has become infested with pests, your landlord is generally responsible for resolving the issue. Failing to act promptly can lead to damage to your belongings, health problems, and inconvenience, and may give you grounds for a claim. Similarly, as a homeowner, if your property was sold to you with undetected pest problems, you may be able to make a claim against the seller or the previous owner.
