The UK law holds landlords responsible for pest control in rental properties, including AirBNBs, residential rental properties, social housing, houses of multiple occupancy and holiday homes. Pests can cause serious harm to tenant’s health, spreading diseases, disturbing sleep and generally causing significant distress.
With the Government working to crack down on homes that are unfit for habitation and issuing new laws, such as Awaab’s Law to ensure that necessary repairs are carried out in a timely manner to reduce safety risks for tenants, it’s imperative that both private and social housing landlords and property managers have preventative measures and pest control plans in place.
Thankfully, Countrywide has you covered. Our friendly, local team can provide preventative measures based around Integrated Pest Management principles to protect your rental property from pest problems.

Pest management is crucial for rental properties because in the UK, pest control is the landlord’s responsibility. Unless it can be proved that the pest issue was the tenant’s fault, due to not securing rubbish properly or leaving it in a state of disrepair, then the landlord is responsible for pest control.
