We were rented HDB house in bedok, we had been notice Bed bugs issues after few days, when we bring this in Owners notice he denile saying its hygeine issues and we have to bare pest control cost.. he denile saying when they hand over the home it was not there, infact we didnt observed when we took from owner, now they want to deduct the pest control and matress dispoable charges that is 1.5 K and $350 for pest control from diposit. neighter he had been done any pest control before we tk over.
. Is pest control is tenants responsibility? as per my knowededge this is health and safety issues for maintanance cost any thing related to damage we will be respnisible. but I am not agreed on pest control cost.
please clear my quarry , is there any specific agreement or any specific rights for tenants on this? or any specification on pest control done by owners once in year or 2 years.
who suppose to bare the pest control cost in our case.
Thanks
