What happens if you leave a fruit outside of the fridge for 7 weeks?

My wife and I went off for our honeymoon, and after doing the dishes, taking our the trash and even throwing away almost anything from the fridge, we realized we forgot one fruit on the table.
This is some sort of pear in the shape of apple. Was already in the fridge for a few weeks before forgetting it there- but wasn't rotten or anything yet.
The outside temperature should be 10-30 Celsius (50-86 Farenheit), but the inner temperature in the house probably no more than 80 F.

We won't be back in 7 weeks, and the only person who has a key to the apartment is our landlord, meaning we'll need to request someone to make some efforts to deal with it.

Should I be worried? Am I expected to find worms, flies, etc when I get back? Or should 7 weeks be ok?

* The fruit was inside a nylon sandwich bag, but it was probably open and not sealed.

Thanks so much.
