Pest Control in Rentals?

For those who do single family rentals, do you, as the Landlord pay for Pest Control? It just sort of hit me in the shower this morning and I don't know the answer.

I'm trying to look at preventative maintenance costs over the year, Pest Control might need to be on the list. I think I pay about 300 a year for my own residence. Have you found that costs are different for rentals?

Besides HVAC PM, and Pest control can anyone think of any other preventative costs I should be thinking about?

My lease states tenant is responsible for pest control and appliance repair . When I first started I didn’t have these clauses in my lease . Will save you a ton of money and time .
