Damage after vacancy will take months to assess
Hello all,
I've run into a situation I've never encountered before. I had a renter vacate one of my units. She was living in absolute squalor and has left behind the most horrendous German roach infestation that I have ever seen in my life. My exterminator has advised me that eradicating the roaches will take multiple visits - one every two weeks - until the roaches are gone. He billed me up front for the overall roach eradication program, but the subsequent visits do carry an additional charge. I have 30 days from the date of vacancy to send my tenant notice of imposing a claim on her deposit. I will have charges after the 30 days. Has anyone encountered something like this before? How did you handle it?
