I Have a Question

[image deleted]Any one know what these critters are?
[image deleted]We just moved in. JUST moved in, and We wake up to this.
If anyone lives in the Ft.Smith Arkansas area and knows about renter rights laws, lemme.know what can be done.


We moved from So.Cal. to Arkansas. First rain fall.we had, ... B O O M! Tree falls right out of the Earth, right across our place - had to move.
This is our second month in Arkansas, second move, second near disaster.

(The larvae is just the tip of the ice Berg.
The owner rented us a place with a.stove that works sometimes, and air conditioner foul with filth in the filter, scratched up floors, f&$ed walls floors ceiling, roaches, and various bugs, gaps in this door and window jams so.big, we can enjoy the out doors with the doors and windows shut.
Some.of the electric sockets work, some dont
Still love Arkansas.

I agree it's a larva of some sort. For future reference, here is a site with photos of 556 insects indigenous to Arkansas.

@Mamapolo2016 Do you know if there is anything renters can do, in a situation like this,
In So.Cal, depending on how wealthy the neighborhood is, the owner could be fined, neglect charges brought up.on them, have the place condemned, have the renters relocated at the landlord's expense.
But this is Arkansas, I don't know the laws here.
@Groofydorkgerdo I'll see what I can find out.
@Groofydorkgerdo Not good news.

[quote]Renters have few rights under Arkansas law. This article was published May 7, 2017 at 1:10 a.m. Arkansas is the only state in the country where landlords do not have to provide a habitable dwelling. Landlords are also not required to make repairs, unless it is stated in the lease agreement.May 7, 2017[/quote]
