Some RestrictionsPest Control
Arkansas is the only U.S. state without an implied warranty of habitability, so Arkansas landlords have no automatic duty to exterminate rats, roaches, mice, bed bugs, or other pests unless the lease assigns that responsibility. Springdale enforces basic property-maintenance and nuisance standards through the International Property Maintenance Code and Chapter 42 of the Municipal Code, and pesticide applicators are licensed by the Arkansas State Plant Board.
