We’re in an ancient apartment. I noticed what could be ‘frass’ (termite poo) in a drawer in the kitchen. That same kitchen also has drooping floors.
We will be moving into a new house and I have a few questions for those who either know renter’s rights or know about termites:
1. If we find termites, should we get rid of all our wooden furniture before moving to a new house?
2. Have you successfully moved from a place with termites and didn’t bring those jerks with you?
3. Do we have any rights against the owner of the building for this damage? (we told them about the drooping floors years ago and they did nothing)
4. Are we in any way responsible for this? It isn’t like we invited the termites, but just curious if this can be turned on us somehow.
Thanks,
