Tenant Rights and Responsibilities
As a tenant in the United States, you have certain rights and responsibilities when it comes to the condition of your rental unit. It’s essential to be aware of these rights, especially when facing a cockroach infestation. Here’s what you need to know:
– Right to a Habitable Dwelling: Under California law, landlords are required to maintain rental units in a habitable condition. This includes ensuring that the premises are free from infestations and pests, such as cockroaches.
– Duty to Notify Landlord: As a tenant, it is your responsibility to promptly notify your landlord about any issues affecting the habitability of your rental unit. This includes notifying them about a cockroach infestation as soon as it is discovered.
– Landlord’s Obligation to Address Infestations: Once notified, landlords are obligated to take prompt and appropriate measures to address the cockroach infestation. This may include hiring professional pest control services to effectively eliminate the infestation.
