Hi all.
My partner and I have just got the keys today for our new rental property and we were going to start cleaning when we realized there is a carpet moth infestation in the bedroom and living room! We rang our lettings agency who sent a pest control man round later on in the day and he sprayed something non-toxic on the carpets and told us that we shouldn't really vacuum ( the floor is really dirty and needs vacuuming ) or put anything around the edges of the walls for 2 weeks and not to bring any soft furnishings/clothes into the flat! So, Technically we can't move in and live in it for 1-2 weeks. Do we have a right to go back to the lettings agency and ask for 1-2 weeks money off the rent as we can't live in it while its infested or is this being unreasonable?
Many thanks for any/all answer.
