If lawn care and pest control are not included, I would advise the tenant to call for extermination if they don't want to get a $5 can of spray and do it themselves.On a side note, I would not allow any tenants to have a compost bin, pile or anything else.

So in my lease after 30 days any infestation is tenants responsibility I have receipts showing I paid for the exterminator to come and exterminate the premises.

The only other thing VA requires is a pest clearance (or an NPMA33 if there are no active termites). 

We requested that detailed info from our local pest control company and failed to follow up and get that over to you in a timely manner.  

One thing I have on this deal that I know will be a learning curve for me but I am sure I will handle it fine is that the property has termites but I am getting it treated immediately from my local pest guy and will be doing a-lot of carpentry work for this one!

Providing air filters, pest control, credit reporting, insurance, access to online portals and payment options, etc, are the offerings I see most often.

***Not to mention the 7ft. black snake in the backyard as well today...I'm BLOWN away that the sellers left us with a flea, opossum, and whatever else infested home and had "no idea" any of this was happening because it was clear living with animals has been going on for a LONG time.  

Tenants are required to report maintenance issues, maintain the yard, pay utilities and for pest control.Inherited Section 8 Tenants (those that came with the purchase of a property) have not been the best and we part with those quickly.

Hey there @Mario Morales - I've got a solid independent pest guy that works in Chicago.
