Explanation
Desuetude means “disuse,” although the word is usually used in a legal context (a law that has not been enforced in a very long time may fall into desuetude and in some legal codes be no longer valid).
Overrun matches the idea of having many vermin (rats and other undesirable animals). Don’t fall for trap answer hampered — the house couldn’t be hampered because it wasn’t trying to accomplish anything.
Desuetude, overrun.
