Having pests in your home could cause the spread of disease and infection. Not only could they infect the food you have in the house, but they may end up destroying furniture and belongings. You could potentially be blamed for any destroyed furniture in the household that was already there when you moved in. Your landlord has a responsibility to keep you safe when you move into the property. If they already knew that it was infested with pets, they are liable for any damages that you have experienced, especially if you end up getting sick.

Any vermin or infestations within your home could result in property damage, illness and infection. Some infestations may be more dangerous than others. For instance, if you have mites or bedbugs, you could be bitten or stung if there is a wasp nest that has not been taken away. If you are allergic to any type of rodents or bugs, you may find that their droppings or fur causes you to have a reaction. For instance, if you have asthma or breathing issues, you may have to go to the doctor to be prescribed stronger medication.

There is a high possibility that a pest infestation can cause damage to your belongings. Not only can they lay eggs in fabric, but rats and mice can bite through clothing and wooden items and hide in padded belongings, such as sofas and chairs. They can even chew through wires and cables and potentially cause fires within your home.
