German roaches - tardy tenants

[Meena Balaji]

Hi All,

Looking for advice. We have a rental property which is infested with german roaches because the tenants are unclean. My property manager visited and sprayed the place but it was not effective. He saw food all around the house and general condition was filthy.

Now we are planning to get a pest control company to take immediate action but is there a way to penalize the tenants for failing to upkeep the property

Thanks,

Meena
