Fleas for Rental Property in Cleveland, Ohio

[Jared Smith]

All - I've owned this rental property for +6 years in Cleveland, OH and never had fleas ever with several rental cycles. No carpet and fully renovated. Newer tenants got fleas. I am paying for all treatments, but they are asking for rent reductions etc. after legal advice from a connection they have that has been giving them legal advice. Curious on ideas for resolutions? 3rd treatment within 30 days today and no way to prove on either side who or what caused the fleas. Thanks in advance!

@Jared Smith  do they have pets and are they treating them for fleas?  Have they taken up area carpets and sprayed furniture?  You cant just bomb for fleas.  It can be in furniture they got from somewhere if you dont have carpet I suspect they brought it with them.  A lot to me would depend on who had pets, the previous tenant ? them? both?
