Q: In Oregon who's responsible for a rodent ingestion in your place the tenant or the landlord?
The manager says it's my responsibility to take care of the I live in a low income government subsidized complex ran by a out of state company
A: Rodent's are a habitability issue, thus the landlord needs to as a general proposition.
Gregory L Abbott agrees with this answer
A: The statutes are clear - it is your landlord's obligation to get rid of vermin, pests, rodents, etc. IF he can prove, however, that the tenant is the cause of the infestation or problem, he can then charge the tenant for remediating the problem but either way, the landlord has the duty to fix the problem and worry about whether he can charge the tenant for it afterwards.
