You need to take care of the fleas if she hasn't even moved in yet.  That's just basic landlording.

Her monthly rent is irrelevant, in my opinion.  If the rent is too low to justify a $250 pest control treatment, then that's probably an indication that the house is not going to make a good rental.  

Not trying to  be mean or anything.
