Lakeshore's rat rebate and pest rules
The Municipality of Lakeshore lists a rebate program for rat control at homes, and its property standards by-law says who has to deal with pests. The notes below link to the Municipality's own pages.
Rat rebate: check before you book
Lakeshore currently lists a residential rat-abatement rebate program for eligible properties. The Municipality determines eligibility and its current contractor requirements, and its process starts before you hire anyone: a by-law officer inspects the property for by-law compliance, and any violations must be fixed first. It is a pilot with limited funding, so check the program page before relying on a rebate.
Municipality of Lakeshore: Rat Abatement Pilot Program (opens in a new tab)Feeders, bird baths and gardens
During the rebate inspection, the officer may recommend removing bird feeders, bird baths or vegetable gardens to make the yard less attractive to rats. The Municipality says these suggestions aren't mandatory, but not following them could affect your eligibility.

Lakeshore's property standards by-law says a dwelling must be kept free of rodents, vermin and insects, and of conditions that encourage them. Yards must be kept free of rodents, vermin and other pests, and of anything that could harbour them.

The by-law counts whoever manages the property or receives the rent as the owner, and a tenant too if the lease makes them responsible for upkeep. The Municipality takes by-law complaints online or on a printed form, and does not accept anonymous ones.
