Received my new lease renewal offer. Monarch wants...

Received my new lease renewal offer. Monarch wants to add 5 dollars per month for pest control. In much research this is the landlords responsibility. This complex is over run with chipmunks. They have damaged my car and my daughter's to a total of 7 times now. Have starred on my neighbors also. They eat the insulation and also have chewed through wires on my headlights. It will now be close to a thousand dollars. I took matters into my own hands this summer.
I bought a trap and caught 26 chipmunks on my own patio. Maintenance has cemented several holes and cracks around my patio. I could go on forever. Here is what it equates to. Under the classification of pests is rodents. A chipmunk is a rodent. They run everywhere on this property. You can go to the office and they will run right in front of you. You have no idea how many things the management have given to me for things to do in order to get rid of them. One is forcing me to park in my garage. Well then I shouldn't have to pay for a garage. They are willing to reduce the amount of my garage rent. But still not a complete solution. We have one neighbor who doesnt close her door and management won't force her to. There are 12 garages in one building and you can access all of them through anyone of them. We had a power issue this past summer. The door was open next to mine so maintenance had him climb over the beams. He did went right over mine and dropped down into his. The pest issues I have had here are with wasps and nests outdoors. Summer of 2018 was really bad. I had an infestation of ants or termites in the bedroom wall. There were a couple thousand that emerged one night. It was so noisy it woke my daughter. Pest control came out but I think it was the following week. You have to be put on the list and they only come out every 2 weeks. There are 264 apartments here which will equate to a total of 15840.00 dollars per year. I have never heard of any landlord making tenants pay monthly. It is the responsibility of the landlord or management company to provide a clean and safe environment. It will be 5 years in February that I have lived here. I am elderly, have a first floor apartment with handicap parking within feet of my apartment. I like it here for several reasons. It is close to everything for me, my friends, church stores, hospital. Management knows I keep my outdoor patio and flower beds kept up. I have sent a letter to property management which they forwarded onto the regional manager. I sent another letter to the regional today. I've been to the office this week. My new lease terms were fairly decent. But when Monarch tried to sneak in a recurring charge for pest control. I have never paid my rent one day late. I pick up trash around the property, sweep up the entrance. The answers that I get from the office is this is what corporate tells me to do. I guess I should give my location. I'm at Burwick Farms.
