Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
Who's responsible ??
My tennant has a problem with
flying ants/termites in his
restaurant located near the ocean
The flying ants/termites could be
coming from under the building
where they like to nest in moist
areas......A pest control agency
has been called in to investigate.
Who is responsible to pay for the
agency to control these pests ???

Re: Who's responsible ??
It would depend on the terms of your lease and when and what is the cause of the problem. If the problem existed prior to the lease, then it would be considered the landlord's problem. If it was caused by the Tenant and his use of the building and did not exist prior to his renting the property, and depending on the terms of your lease, it may be his problem.
I would suggest you take your lease to an attorney to review. If there is no lease, then I suggest you get one sooner rather than later.
