Do I have the right to refuse to let the landlord spray pest control in my unit?
I came home to find a list detailing that I would need to pull all the items that are in cabinets, drawers or closets out and into the center of the room so that they could douse my place with chemicals. I neither want to live with the chemicals or to have to essentially move in all over again. Do I have the right to refuse them entry to my unit. I live in Los Angeles by the way if that matters.

Look in your contract. When I live in TN, it was what they did as well. We never refused it but I knew that if there ever was a pest problem, it wasn't our fault.

Keep in mind this is a good thing. Do you want to live with bugs?

Anyhow, it's in the landlords interest as a preventative method. Meaning, the regular spraying will keep termites out and having termites ultimately effects the value of the home.

so, I would say no.. you shouldn't refuse, but I suppose it doesn't hurt giving your reasoning.

no they have the right to do this.
they must be reasonable and give you adequate warning,especially if there are children or even pets or plants that could be affected adversely.
you might have a case if your apartment becomes uninhabitable for a period of time where they may have to offer you alternative accommodation.but this could be costly legally.if you do not like it ,leave.

No you do not have the right to refuse. They gave you plenty of notice, its a problem in the apt complex. They cant spray all the other apts and not yours. All the bugs will end up in YOUR apt.

The bugs are a health issue. If the LL didnt spray, you would be complaining that you had bugs. So what if you have to leave for a few hours. Go to the library or something. Most pest control places only spray with an insecticide that requires a few hours to dry. A few hours away from my apt so that my landlord can clear my apartment of unwanted pests is NOT an issue for the tenant to complain about.
I have never, in my 12 yrs of landlording, heard a tenant complain because a Landlord was doing his job and taking care of his property. Are you looking for a way out of your lease?? This isnt going to do it.
So what if you have to move some stuff around? You are not "moving in again", just moving some stuff to the middle of the room. Do you want it infested with bugs?
If the chemicals were harmful to you, you would be asked to leave the apt for a few days, not a few hours. Some chemicals can be sprayed and the tenant does not even have to leave. They are harmful to the bugs not the people.
I think your priorities are mixed up in this case.

I'm sorry about your situation.
I think that you can refuse, but I'm not positive.
However, I want to point out that if you do refuse. All of the critters that are being exterminated from the other apartments are going to vacate post haste over to your nice comfy place. You will find yourself in a real pickle if then you call for extermination when they have just come out and you refused.

I'd go along with as much of the ordeal as you can tollerate. One way that I have tackled the whole thing was to buy big freezer bags and contain my things that way so that nothing gets into my stuff.

Best of luck,

Yes ,you do ,the land lord has to pay for any inconveniences. Id let the land lord know . and id ask the land lord what hotel are you going to be staying in for the next two days,on him/her of course.

It depends on the laws in your location, as well as your contract.

Generally-speaking, you might have the right to negotiate the terms of the treatment, but not the right to refuse absolutely.

they have the right..
you can find out what is being sprayed....and how long the effects last..
at your choice you can stay a few days in a hotel..it is off season and you may find a nice hotel cheap..
i think
www.priceline.com
has name your own hotel prices..
go along with it and enjoy knowing the "roaches" are gone
or whatever critter..
I would just feel better knowing the termites,ants,roaches,fleas, etc were gone and the landowner cared enough to get rid of them..
