10/17/2019 - Will need to send orders to the property owner. /// RLM

10/22/2019 - Issued 1st order. /// RLM

11/18/2019 - Revisited property. Tenant claims cabinets were cleaned out 3 weeks ago after the Healthy Home inspection. There are mouse droppings present within the cabinets now. That would indicate the rodent infestation continues. No action has been taken by the property owner. However by code, the tenant is equally responsible since this is a single family structure. /// RLM

12/17/2019 - Will have to contact landlord and set a time to inspect with them present for current rodent conditions, giving 24 hour notice prior. /// RLM

1/6 - Called property manager to setup inspection. They will post this week for a 1/13 @10:30 visit. /// GED

1/13 - The property manager called to change inspection so it could be coordinated with maintenance. New time was 1pm. /// GED
1/13 - Met property manager, maintenance and tenant. The tenant has lived in property since 2011 in the single family home. The property manager explained that the lease agreement puts pest control on the tenant. The company maintains a contract with a licensed pest control company, however, the bill would have to be paid by the tenant. The tenant refused service. The tenant placed their own bait boxes and glue traps. They have not been seeing as many mice as before but currently is low on finds so cannot buy more traps until money is received. There were rodent droppings in the kitchen cabinets and in other areas of the kitchen and living room. Discussed pest control options, cleaning and food storage. The property manager agreed to purchase glue traps for tenant so they can do their own pest control. Needs follow up inspection. /// GED

Closed.
