I just got a notice from my landlord that there is a roach problem in my building and they need to spray/bait every unit because of it. However, I don't have any roaches, eggs, or any insects whatsoever in my specific unit, and I'm not comfortable with chemicals being sprayed in my living space because I have a family history of lung cancer (especially if there isn't a problem in my unit to begin with).
So I would like to know what the law is regarding this?
Does there need to be actual proof of infestation in each unit in order for them to be allowed to spray a unit? Or is it a case where they can spray every unit they want regardless and I have no say in the matter?
The letter stated it's mandatory and anyone who refuses may be served with a 30 day eviction notice. I don't want to have to move over this, but I also don't want to live in an environment that could be hazardous to my long term health.
I'm going to call my landlord in the morning to discuss it, but they are closed now so I thought I could get some information here in the meantime.
Thank you
