Eeeeeek!

A Georgia couple says they moved to the Big Apple in July and began renting the home of their dreams — a stunning Manhattan townhouse — only to learn it was a nightmarish hellhole overrun with vermin.

“On the very first exciting day of their $43,000 per month Manhattan townhouse mansion rental, the Mays discovered they had a rodent problem,” says Darrell and Tara Mays’ Manhattan Supreme Court suit, in which they accuse owners John and Elizabeth Robertshaw of fraud.

“The ‘extraordinary and truly rare’ Mansion was extraordinarily and truly infested with vermin,” the suit says of the sprawling 10,000-square-foot pad at 166 E. 81st and 179 E. 80th streets.

“Over the next six months, multiple attempts were made in vain to battle the severe infestation, with the Mays finding themselves continuously disposing of dead rodents, dodging live rodents, cleaning rodent droppings and living with the toxic odor caused when unlocated dead rodents decompose,” the suit says.

“Indeed, the Mays ultimately became prisoners to the infestation and were forced to choose between staying close to home to be available to endure the gruesome and repugnant chore of disposing of the newly-dead or enjoying a vacation only to return to the toxic stench of decomposed vermin.”

The lawsuit chronicles the couple’s alleged “months-long rodent odyssey,” and the veritable parade of exterminators and repair people who tracked through the home on a daily basis in order to wage their vermin war.

While it was impossible to live in the manse, it was even harder to leave — because it meant returning to piles of dead rodents and the smell of their decaying corpses, the suit says.

All the while, the Robertshaws repeatedly claimed they were “unaware of the severity of the issue,” despite bags of ready traps that had been left behind, the suit says.

Even a simple drizzle complicated the renters’ life, the documents say.

“When it rained during the period, dead vermin often washed up in the around the outside of the Mansion and flow to and cluster around storm drains. The swarm of flies also continues unabated with ample dead rodents on which to feed,” the suit says.

Unable to cope, the Mays took a vacation between Dec. 16, 2018, and Jan. 5, 2019, the suit states.

They returned to a horror show of rodent bodies littering the floor of their home, rotting, according to the lawsuit.

On top of the rodents, the townhouse was plagued with leaks, heating failures and other problems the suit says.

“The Mays have been constructively evicted and are vacating the Mansion at the earliest moment on which they were able to secure the services of a moving company,” the lawsuit says.

Yet the Robertshaws’ lawyer Alan Arkin told The Post this was just a dramatic attempt by the Mays to wriggle out of their lease.

“For whatever reason, the Mays have decided to breach the terms of their leases, and now, when faced with a 10 Day Notice to Cure their own defaults, have initiated this baseless lawsuit to try and find any way possible to get out of their leases,” said Arkin, noting his clients lived in the home for almost 20 years and never had issues akin to those in the complaint. “The Mays moved in within two months of my clients moving out.”

Arkin added that any problems mentioned by the Mays were addressed promptly by the Robertshaws.
