Can a landlord charge the renter for home repairs due to termite damage?
HAHAHAHAH no termite damage is his problem. He should have had the house exterminated long before you moved in and he should have had the exterminator there on an annual basis to keep termites from invading the house. That is his problem. Call him and tell him that you have no intentions of paying the bill for his termite problem and that you are suing him for living there with termites and that you want your rent money back. Take him to court, he is a slum lord.
