Can a landlord do this? Pest Control services

By anonymous

Renter in florida

I recently moved into a new condo. A week after moving in, the tons and tons of ants started showing up.

Because I moved across the country, the only thing I have right now is a bed, and some boxes of personal things. I don’t have ANY furnture, so it is HIGHLY unlikely I brought anything with in with me.

In my lease (which I thought was strange), it says I am responsible for pest control. However, i was under the impression that in the state of florida (and most states), LANDLORDS are responsible for pest control services.
Does this being in the lease exempt my landlord from the responsibility of pest control in the state of Florida?
Not sure if I am allowed to ask this question as I am not sure if it’s a legal one…but if anyone could please help, that’d be great. I haven’t even lived in the condo for more than 3 days because i’ve been out of town for job training.
This is ridiculous. The condo seemed so nice, but it’s starting to seem like my landlord is a slumlord. Thanks for any and all help and/or consideration.

Yes, pest control is supposed to be the responsibility of the landlord. But it’s really complicated since you signed the lease.
