rented a house in Texas and there are wasps nests
I'm sorry to hear about the wasps. In Texas, it's generally the landlord's responsibility to handle pest control issues. You can:
- Notify your landlord in writing.
- If no action is taken, you may have the right to break the lease or withhold rent.
Always consult with a local attorney for accurate guidance.
