Answer by clayton
The person who brought them into the building should be responsible. however, My folks had a 3 unit apartment that got infected when a couple, freshly married, moved use bedding and furniture into their apartment. They insisted that the unit must have been infected prior to them moving in and they said they were going to sue my parents..They promptly moved back out. It wasn’t infected, as no bed bugs and the problems they bring, were not noticed until the new couple arrived. All three units had to be treated by a fumigator, which worked on the first try. My folks, the landlords, were stuck with the bill. Therefore, I vote that this is your landlord’s responsibility to either collect from the culprit who infested the building, or pay for the fumigation him/her self.
