Off campus housing rentals around Niagara College getting the blame for a rodent problem.
Neighbours living in the Northgate Drive area say they are dealing with a rat infestation and they blame student housing rentals, where one home can house up to seven students.
One resident says on garbage days she sees bags piled up in front of the homes, most of them without tags, so they aren't picked up and sit there attracting rodents.
City councillor Mark Carl says while he has not received any official complaints he promises to look into the issue.
