Summary

Landlords in Arkansas must maintain fit premises, including pest control, even without a lease. If pest control fails and causes health issues like scabies, tenants may sue if they can prove landlord negligence. Retaliatory eviction for complaints is illegal. Consult a local attorney for specific advice and potential legal action.

Residential no lease
In Arkansas, without a lease, landlords are generally responsible for pest control unless the tenant is at fault. But each case is different, and it's advisable to communicate directly with your landlord about your concerns.
Complaint several times now I have scabies can I sue
Yes, you could potentially sue your landlord for injuries related to scabies. However, you need to prove that:
- The landlord was aware of the infestation.
- They failed to take reasonable steps to fix it.
- The infestation directly caused your injuries.
Please consult with a local attorney for specific advice.

Her pest control did not work
