Pest Control Tenant or the Landlord Responsible?

Who’s responsible for pest control? The landlord or property management company, or the tenant living in the rental property?

What happens when the tenant tells the property management company they have fleas, mice, roaches or bedbugs? Does it matter if its 3 weeks after the tenant moves in or 3 years? As a property management company what is in our lease regarding pest control?

Great property management company. Repairs done in a timely manner, paying the rent is easy, and it’s always easy to contact them when there’s an issue. I have never dealt with a property manager that has been this easy, wish they were all like this because it’s so nice getting repairs done quickly.

Lived in a property they have managed for about a year and they are great property managers. They actually respond to maintenance requests. And they do it quickly, there’s normally someone out the next day. They also use quality contractors or maintenance guys. They’re a great property management company, wish everyone was this good.

I recall going up and down the stairs to manage all of my rental properties. Despite owning several properties, I felt like I was working like a labourer. Things changed after I hired Grow Property Management, and they gave me peace of mind. Excellent work, as usual!

I have lived in a lot of apartments over the years with a lot of different property managers. The team here is absolutely amazing. They get all the maintenance requests finished fast and make it easy to pay the rent. I have been happy living here, will be a shame when I eventually have to move out.

I’ve loved working with Joe - Grow Property Management Have since rented two houses through Joe and each time has been fantastic. He’s addressed issues promptly and was very thorough throughout signing process. They were nothing but flexible with move-ins and have been nothing but a pleasure to work with. Depending on your budget, Joe has an amazing selection to offer and compared to other property management companies in town, I won’t go anywhere else! I have yet to work with a property manager so willing to go out of their way to help than with Joe! Thank you Joe!

Philadelphia Property Management has been successfully managing a couple properties of mine for years. They make the process of being a landlord so much easier. I never have to chase them down for an update or question their property management skills. Their methods seem to be effective. I've had positive results from each tenant thus far. I highly recommend their property management services if you own property in the Philadelphia area.
