Question: Is a residential landlord required to pay for expenses relating to bug sprays and/or professional services to spray for excessive ants?

Answer:

A.R.S. Title 33 Chapter 10 Article 2 States a Landlord is Responsible for the following:

  • Keep the residence clean and safe
  • Remove and dispose of trash
  • Keep all plumbing fixtures clean
  • Use electrical appliances, heating and air-conditioning systems and plumbing in a reasonable manner
  • Not deliberately or negligently damage the property or allow somone else to do so
  • Unelss agreed otherwise, use the property only as a residence

Unless otherwise stated in your lease, the Landlord is most likely not responsible to provide reimbursement for pest or insect control. You may want to take a look at your leasing contract, or contact an attorney to get advice for your specific situation.
