Idk man, if this kind of thing is normal for the landlord, he must be at least slightly to blame. Still, no excuse for tenants to do this to a house.

[@jesuscortez4528]

if all of his tenants supposedly have this problem, its his fault. The tenant probably complained about it before and he did nothing. There should be no reason for multiple buildings to have this type of issue unless he is being willfully negligent.

[@nikkii327]

Agreed. The landlord has to hold himself accountable and all of the blame cannot be pointed to the tenant. This is why landlords need to have walk through’s of the units with the tenant prior to lease signing to document the condition of the unit. The tenant signing the lease is agreeing to maintaining the unit and if they don’t that’s why there is a security deposits so landlords can utilize it to do repairs. Clearly, that wasn’t done when it should have been.

I agree to a certain extent but you can keep them under control where they’re not hundreds crawling everywhere you turn if you treat and keep it clean

[@KameradVonTurnip]

Not necessarily true. Roaches have a very hard time surviving in a clean home. Without any food sources, they normally die off, and even a small colony literally can not survive in a human home, as it would be like living in a desert without food for them. If you keep your home clean, make it so they have no access to food of any kind, including pet food, your chances of having roaches is almost entirely zero, even if one walks into your home, they normally die from starvation within a week. So no. What you said isn't true. Roaches have very fast short lives. Unlike say a spider which can survive in a human home relatively well as some species can literally live for years, they have a slower life, require far less feed to keep going. Roaches have to feed almost constantly they're a very high energy species, similar to ants/wasp, like ants/wasp they have a hard time living inside people's homes, as they do not provide proper food for them to live unless people are messy and leave it out. Without food they die very quickly.

Also the extent of that infestation means that it's been bad for a long time. If I was the tenant, EVEN IF my landlord didn't hire pest control, even if he blamed me for the infestation and I didnt think that was true, the moment I start seeing roaches and their feces I would begin a pest control process myself bc I would refuse to live that way. It's not even expensive to manage a few roaches, or the beginnings of an infestation if u catch it early. It gets to be a huge expensive ordeal only after u let it go for a long time and let it get to the point where they're colonizing ur freezer and dropping from the ceiling onto ur head.

Roach infestations this bad must have taken years to develop. The house was probably already infested when these people moved in. If the home was 100% free of cockroaches to begin with it would take someone a long time to get this nasty. I moved into an apartment and I kept it spotless, however the roaches were uncontrollable. We had pictures hanging on the wall and we took it down one day to clean the glass and behind it the wall was covered with thousands of roaches. All our electronics were infested with roaches. It all got left on the curb when we moved. It didn't matter how much cleaning we done or how clean we kept the place, it was just infested with roaches. As bad as the infestation was at the house in this video, the sheer amount of bug's tells that this has been a problem long before these tenants moved in.

And for anyone wondering, you need to do a mix of 1) the “roach motel bait traps”, and 2) the roach bait GEL. 3) spray RAID poison into any body of water (toilet, sink drain, shower drain), so that the roaches can’t drink water without dying. 4) make sure every item of trash is outside, and there’s no possible food in the house. The cockroaches need to have no option but to eat/drink the poison and die And don’t be cheapie cheapie on the bait either. You need to have about 60 “roach motel” traps in a typical townhouse. This normally costs about $60 or so. And you need to have another $20 in bait gel scattered about. If you have a very bad infestation, you may need to bug bomb the entire place, and then keep doing these steps after the bombing

Don't sign that papers they won't have a case in court. Take pictures and you can take them to court the reason lawyers don't get involved is because you don't need them. Leave if you can or withhold your rent and let them know why and let them take you to court, the case will be dismissed.

Landlords denying responsibility like he’s not responsible for who he lets move in there. Friend of mine does maintenance for several apartment complexes and he has some horror stories, but in extreme cases he has always alerted the landlords and those people usually get evicted. My point is that if the problem had gotten so bad that the fridge is overflowing with roaches than the landlord isn’t keeping up with maintenance and that’s probably why he has slumlord reputation.

[@dmr1983]

Just rented my first house and there were roaches. I told the landlord, that same day he had pest control at the house spraying. They had to come back 2 more times and now they’re finally gone.

My parents have rented out a small house for years now. We'd had the house for a while, and never had trouble with pests, leaks, broken things, etc, before we started. Then, every time we went down to the house after, things were in terrible, terrible shape. There was always more broken stuff, more stains, more crap everywhere. We hired rental management companies to "clean" between each guest... yeah, none of them have done a very good job. They also never report stuff to us when they should, so every guest sees the house in the shape we do when we go down to see it.

They said nothing about communication. Did they contact the landlord to deal with the problem originally ? How do we know he is not really to blame for the cockroaches? It's not easy to get rid of cockroaches and most landlords are cheap and do not want to spend the money that it actually takes to make sure they are dealt with properly. Simply spraying or having a local professional bug guy spray WILL NOT GET RID OF THEM !! That is why they usually offer contract's to keep up on the bug problems but most professionals will all have a clause that states they can not 100% guarantee no more bugs will show up because of how hard it is to kill them all they way. They only offer to help reduce the problem and hopefully make life much easier for the tenants. They tell the tenants stupid things like you are probably leaving food out or because your house is messy that's why they are here but that is not true. Anyone who knows about cockroaches and how these cases go will tell you that they will find a way no matter what to increase their numbers with or without a clean house. Of course they will thrive a little easier in a dirty environment in the sense that it's easier to feed and hide etc but those things do not actually guarantee a higher rate of success for the cockroaches actually as they have thrived in clean environments sometimes much greater than dirty environments in many cases but that is also no guarantee of safety at all either !! It may help keep it sanitary to clean up and that is good for you of course it is and everyone should anyways but the cockroaches don't care if it's clean or not ...nope they will still infest because they are bugs and they have a mission to survive and to multiply that's what they do !!

My wife and I almost moved into an apartment with a bad roach infestation. The apartment complex of courses showed us the model room first to reel us in. Then later the actual unit. Everything looked fine. When we started moving in stuff we noticed German cockroaches every so often. We thought sure that’s normal I guess. (We were moving out of a newer apartment complex so thought it was fine). Then at night it was a nightmare. They were in the kitchen and after close inspection you could see them in the kitchen cabinets and behind the refrigerator. We didn’t stay there and ended up taking all of our stuff back. We had to unbox everything one by one and inspect each box. We did find about 4 of them in the boxes. The apartment complex had the audacity to charge us $300 for administrative fees.

Yep it is thier fault they live there if they don’t clean they get this, but it’s the landlords fault for how you keep your house.

A landlord should be able to see thier property when they want it’s thiers period, and if you don’t like someone you should have the right to refuse service because it is your property not thiers. This whole kill the landlords is outta hand when there are no consequences for a terrible tenant and now they don’t even want a future landlord to know the tenant was terrible…😢

[@DzBeanz]

This is not always the tenant's fault. They travel from the neighbors house. Some landlords will buy appliances for their property, sometimes they have roach remnants and eggs undiscovered from the seller. We fell victim to this when druggie neighbors moved out. We had just moved in to a new home and the neighbors behind us were the dirty type of drug people, the typical fights in the middle of the night, knocking on doors asking for money, starving angry dogs that were always left outside, dirty looks when I walk in my own backyard....you know, the people you KNOW had roaches. After a tragic accident they were evicted...stuff needed cleaning up. Weeks later I noticed a few roaches on the back porch, then the kids toys, a month later they got in the house. (When you finally see them inside, it's already too late.) We couldn't find the nest we, bug man couldnt keep up, even landlord couldnt find it, but damn, those bugs ruined a good home. My wife at the time was a VERY specific person when it came to cleanliness. So we know it was not us that brought them. I will never forget the smell when we finally did find the source. Inspect your homes thouroughly when moving in. Check the crawlspace, check the shed, check the water heater, check EVERYTHING! EVEN THE PLACES YOU CANT THINK OF BEING A BREEDING GROUND....CHECK IT! I've said enough. Have a good day.
