Pest & vermin control in Birmingham: Renters vs homeowners

If you own the property:

It’s your legal responsibility to deal with pest problems promptly, especially if they pose a risk to health or safety, or to other properties. Pest issues can sometimes affect your insurance or ability to sell.

Responsibility depends on what caused the infestation. Landlords are usually responsible for structural issues (e.g. holes in walls), while tenants may be liable if pests are attracted by things like food waste. Always check your tenancy agreement and report the issue to your landlord first.
