Stat. s. 83.51(2)(a) as the guideline for this situation, highlighting its complexity and likening it to a puzzle with missing pieces. According to this statute, landlords of dwellings other than single-family homes or duplexes are required to provide "reasonable provisions" for roach extermination. If the infestation reaches a point where temporary evacuation is necessary, the landlord is not accountable for damages but must offer rent relief. Tenants are allowed to temporarily vacate for a maximum of 4 days with 7 days' written notice when extermination becomes imperative.
