      I have read similar posts to this about the treatment of pest infestations and who’s responsible, including a response from TEYS Lawyers suggesting that for an Owners Corporation (O/C) to be responsible a Lot Owner would need to prove  that the infestation (termites in that instance) came from the Common Property.

      This situation involves an infestation of mice within a Lot under Lease, where the entry point is from within the cavity of a brick wall that adjoins the Common Property.

      The tenants have put down baits and traps, but apparently the mice keep re-infesting by gaining access to the Lot from a gap in the wall cavity in the corner of a built-in wardrobe.

      I’m convinced that the tenants have taken reasonable steps to eradicate the pests, and that the Lot is not in an unclean state, so who’s responsible for the costs of professional eradication measures in this instance?
