Roaches 🪳 (California)
Hello everyone,
My family and I moved into our current apartment in March. Since we moved in we’re had multiple issues as far as maintenance. Mostly being that the property manager wants me to do maintenance on broken things before they send the actual maintenance man to come fix them. However our biggest issue is becoming the roaches. My husband and I kill 2-3 roaches per day inside the house since we moved in and we see countless roaches outside the complex everyday. We don’t leave food or anything around and we always take our garbage out. Our complex dumpster stays locked and we’re told to put our garbage around the dumpster until that one person who can unlock the dumpster comes and sorts all the trash. So I assume maybe this is how the complex has so many roaches.
I’ve contacted my property manager and requested they have the complex treated for pests. However their reply was that it’s tenant responsibility to pay for pest control. I’ve looked up California law and according to online it states that it’s landlord responsibility to treat pests unless it’s the tenants fault. I stated that in my reply and I have yet to hear back from them.
Just wondering what I should do?
I’ve got a 1 year old that’s learning to walk and if you know anything about babies they love to put random stuff in their mouth. (And they’re quick to do so)
It doesn’t matter how many times I vacuum or mop or clean. I will see an random roach somewhere on the floor. Idk how the roaches are even getting in the house unless it’s from a crack somewhere. But I feel like this is unsanitary.
Requesting advice from you guys please. 🙏🏽
