Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. In most cases, landlords are responsible for pest control if the infestation affects the property's safety or was present before the tenant moved in. UK law requires landlords to ensure the home is fit to live in, and this includes addressing pest issues like mice, rats, or bed bugs.
If a landlord refuses to act, tenants can contact their local council's Environmental Health team to report the issue. In some cases, tenants may arrange pest control themselves and deduct the cost from their rent, but this must follow the correct legal process and be properly documented.
Landlords should respond promptly to rodent reports—typically within a few days for severe infestations. Delays in addressing pest issues can violate tenancy and housing health laws, especially if the problem puts tenants at risk or makes the property uninhabitable.
Key legislation includes the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). These place legal duties on landlords to keep properties free of infestations and in a safe condition for tenants.
While not legally required, professional pest control reports provide valuable documentation. At Bugwise, we issue detailed service reports for every job—ideal for letting agents, HMOs, and landlords needing evidence for compliance, audits, or tenant disputes.
