Re: Rats

You should examine the terms of your lease to see who is responsible for such maintanaence. In some cases if the rats are symptoms of a larger health hazard the landlord may be responsible.

If you have additional questions you should contact any attorney in your area.

Good luck.

If it is dead, just throw it into a garbage bag, and then the dump.

I am sure nothing in your lease covers a provision of removing a singe deceased rat.
