A Conception Bay South woman who gained notoriety last year, after kicking up a fuss because of rats seen around her rented property says she's getting evicted for speaking out again about the same problem.

Deanna King said the town left a notice on a garbage bin outside her home two weeks ago stating that workers wouldn't take the trash until a rat problem was fixed.

According to King, she brought it to her landlord's attention, but she said he's done nothing about it — and now she's getting evicted.

"I'm getting kicked out because of this. All he had to do was replace that garbage box. There would be none of this," said King.

"I wouldn't have made the Telegram again and I wouldn't have made part two of the rat lady story."

King was first in the news in 2014 when she faced off with a neighbour complaining about rats in their neighbourhood. CBC video of the confrontation became something of a local internet sensation.

Since then, King said she has complained to landlord Les Thistle, who is responsible, she said, for maintaining the property.

"He knows the law, because he's a lawyer, he plays it out to the fullest," King said.

"I don't have to do that because I've got this much time. I can wait until this happens. Well, the hell with you, get on the ball."

'It's not fair'

However, King said she's been landed with an eviction notice because of all her complaining.

"Someone's got to stand up to him. I do have a big mouth and I will cause trouble if it need be so. Why should he get his rent and leave us in dirt? It's not fair to me or anybody else here."

"You know, I really don't care. If I leave the building, I will make sure he puts this up to code for whoever comes in after me. Bottom line, I started it, I will finish it."

Thistle wasn't available for an interview, but confirmed to CBC News he was kicking King out of the apartment.

According to Thistle, he hasn't heard from the town about any problem, but he has plans to replace the garbage bin in question.

Thistle told CBC News that King has been a difficult tenant who stirs up trouble, and that he does not want any more media attention on his property.

He said King texts him at all hours of the day and night and that King is just looking for attention, adding he has lost other tenants because of her.

Meanwhile, King said she just wants to make sure something is being done about the rats on the property.

"You get the rats out of here. You get that garbage box taken care of so everybody can walk by without being in fear of rats going to jump on us or one of the little girls out there trips in that grass and a rat happens to jump on them."
