The plaintiff claimed that Rakers failed to uphold the terms of their service agreement, which resulted in damages related to pest infestation issues that were not adequately addressed. **Facts of the Case:** 1. American Pest Control entered into a service agreement with Rakers to provide regular pest control services for a residential property. 2. The agreement stipulated specific service intervals and the types of pest treatments to be conducted. 3. American Pest Control asserted that Rakers did not allow access for scheduled service appointments on multiple occasions, leading to a severe pest infestation. 4. Rakers contended that attempts to reschedule appointments were made due to accessibility issues and that American Pest Control failed to provide adequate follow-up services. **Legal Issues:** The primary legal issue in this case revolves around whether Rakers breached the contractual obligations set forth in the service agreement with American Pest Control and whether this breach directly caused the damages claimed. **Arguments:** - **Plaintiff's Argument:** American Pest Control argued that the lack of access was not a valid excuse for failing to perform contracted services and as such, Rakers is liable for the resultant damages due to pest infestations. - **Defendant's Argument:** Rakers contended that they communicated their challenges in facilitating access and claimed that American Pest Control did not fulfill its responsibilities to address concerns about service interruptions. **Decision:** [Insert Court's Decision Here - typically describes whether the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff or defendant, including any damages awarded, if applicable.] **Conclusion:** The case presented issues of contractual obligation, access requirements, and responsibilities of service providers in fulfilling their agreements.
