who’s responsibility is it to get rid of bedbugs?

in Bedbug Questions



Question by jane s:
who’s responsibility is it to get rid of bedbugs?

the tenant or the landlady?
Because my tenant is complaining that he has bedbugs and he wants me (the landlady)to call and pay for the exterminator. He’s saying it’s my responsibility. But when I first rented the apartment to him, it was clean (it was completely new). And he’s threatening not to pay the rent anymore if i don’t clean the apartment for him.

please don’t give me your opinions only because I might have to take this to the courts.

Best answer:

Answer by Mark C
Your tenant is responsible, bedbugs come with luggage, boxes, beds etc.

They are found in the best hotels, so even a ” clean ” person can pick them up.
