Re: Can I require someone who's moving from ROACHES - Landlord Forum thread 358774

Re: Can I require someone who's moving from ROACHES by Garry on November 28, 2018 @17:46

                              
I agree. You should say something. You should say : "NO, YOU CANNOT MOVE INTO MY RENTAL ! " If you do not have any roaches now, I GUARANTEE you WILL have them once they move in. Then it becomes YOUR problem, because you knew about the possibility of roaches before they moved in, and let them move in anyway. If you do rent to them, collect a double deposit from them (if your state allows it), and get at least $50 more per month from them in rent, which will go towards paying an exterminator to get rid of them in the future.

If you have other apartments in the same building, be prepared for other tenants to start complaining about roaches, and then you will have to fumigate the whole building, at your expense, or run the risk of your other tenants moving.(and STILL have to get rid of the roaches before you can rerent the apartments again)
