Returned deposit then discovered vermin
About 8 months into the tenancy they informed they had a mouse problem, but that they were taking care of it. I told them that if the house was vermin free at move-in it is their responsibility to handle it. I had a good relationship with the tenant so when they moved out and said it was fixed I didn't dig into it.
New tenant immediately found mice (2 weeks after original tenant vacated) and I've hired an exterminator. Exterminator says there is a ton of mouse traffic and is doing whatever program they sold me.
Am I entitled to, and should I even, request the tenant pay these costs?

How good of a job did you do inspecting the unit after they moved out?
