Good question. If you are having problems with rodent infestation in your dorm room and school maintenance has been advised of the problem with no solution and your personal belongings have been damaged through no fault of your own, you can bring an action against your school for the damage, most likely in small claims court.To assist your situation in getting the problem resolved, I would contact the local health department for an inspection of your dorms. If the school is cited for rodent infestation, there is a much better chance of getting the situation rectified sooner rather than later.
