Rodent Nest

[Retro Momma]

I'm not sure what the rodent nest is for or what I should do about it. Can I get rid of it? Why would I want to employ someone there if it will lower my villagers health? Or does employing someone there make it better?

Employing reduces the effect on health from what i figured out

As you get more villagers buildings will pop up with debuffs, from what I've seen in my game. The rat nest decreases health in town and could start a plague if you don't assign someone to it. Later there are things like the pleasure house that decreases faith, and the joke shop that employs jesters and increases overall town amusement. They're meant to balance it out I think. They don't go away and if you ignore them they can slowly destroy your town.

Oh, okay. Thank you for the responses!

So far from what I can tell, the ideal person in the rats nest is a rat trainer. And then in the brothel, men/women of the night. In the prank place the ideal person is someone who is a prankster, and I just unlocked thieves guild, so I am assuming a thief will be the best person in there.
