I would like some feedback from those who have rented privately before.
In November we rented a villa in Orlando. We checked in on a Saturday. By Monday, we discovered that there were roaches in the kitchen. Lots of them. I hate to use the term infested or overrun because that is subjective. But by Sunday, I could see them in the sink and baby roaches on the counters and by Monday, every time I opened the dishwasher, you'd see several scurrying. By the time we left, roaches would run around the counter, up walls, etc.
The owner contacted me about garbage disposal on Monday and I advised her that she had roaches in the unit. We were waiting to see her response but there was none that evening or the next morning and we left for the day. Upon return that evening, we found a note on the door from the management company stating the unit had been sprayed including "baseboards, doors and all areas of the kitchen" and to be cautious in these areas.
We had no notice whatsoever. I am curious what others experiences have been with regard to notice from an owner or management company in an occupied villa.
This is the Coles Notes version. I just want to know what others do or would expect if in a similar situation.
TIA!
