Termites while Renting
What To Do If You Discover Termites While Renting
While you’re renting a property you may hear something tapping in the night or accidentally go through your lounge room skirting boards whilst vacuuming, what do you do?
Contact your landlord
The first thing you should do is to contact your leasing agent & or landlord directly, because any extermination process needs to be approved and initiated by your owner. Furthermore, your landlord is responsible for any monetary costs involved with such a problem.
Ask for an inspection
Ask your landlord to contact a licensed termite inspector in your local area. You can always request your landlord to use Brisbane Termite Services if the property is within Brisbane.
The inspector will evaluate the house and examine the extent of termite damage. They will provide your landlord with an estimate of expenses required to treat the termite infested home. Based on the report, there will recommendations for further action for termite eradication & treatment. If the home has large wooden portions such as subfloors, timber floors or attics, the stability of the structure could be seriously compromised because of termites. An inspection report should unearth such damages. So, it is very important that you request to see a copy of the report.
Termite colonies grow rapidly
The damage could become more extensive by the time your landlord arranges inspection or the home inspector completes an inspection.
