One month after
Harry Pugliese moved himself, his wife, and his 13-year-old stepdaughter into a rental property in Lafayette, Georgia, he told his landlord about a leak in the roof. Harry says
John Stafford did nothing about the problem, and last week part of the ceiling collapsed, revealing at least four rat snakes living in the ceiling. He says the family had already seen infestations of rats, cockroaches, and bees at the home, so he called Animal Control.
That should get things under control when you’re dealing with ceiling snakes, right? In this case, no; Animal Control said they needed the landlord’s permission to take the roof down and get the snakes out, and Harry says John “didn’t want to do nothing about it.” He had told John earlier that he was going to take his rent money and use it to fix the roof instead and wouldn’t pay any rent until the pest situation was taken care of.
Harry Pugliese found rat snakes in the ceiling of his new home in Lafayette, Georgia on Monday, after months of complaining to his landlord about a leaky roof.
