Rat Control for Brandon Landlords

Landlords in Brandon have a responsibility to keep rental properties safe and habitable, and that includes dealing with rat infestations promptly when they arise. Whether you manage a single let or several properties across the town, having a clear approach to rat control protects both your tenants and your investment.

Rat problems in rented properties can come from a number of directions, including gaps in the building itself, nearby gardens, shared boundaries with other properties, or issues that predate the current tenancy. Getting on top of the problem quickly, and communicating clearly with tenants, tends to make the process far smoother.

Responding to a tenant report

When a tenant reports signs of rats, it is worth arranging an inspection as soon as reasonably possible rather than waiting to see if the problem resolves itself. Rats breed quickly, so a delay often means a bigger job later.

• Arrange a professional inspection to confirm the extent of the problem
• Identify whether entry points relate to disrepair the landlord is responsible for
• Agree access with tenants for treatment and follow-up visits
• Consider rat-proofing works alongside treatment to reduce recurrence
• Keep records of inspections and treatments carried out

Between tenancies

Void periods are a good opportunity to check for signs of rat activity that tenants may not have reported, particularly in lofts, gardens, sheds and outbuildings. Addressing any issues before a new tenancy starts avoids problems being inherited by incoming tenants.
