Help, I had a tenant bring in some bedbugs and then I hired
a company to remove them who guaranteed them to be gone.
Then, a tenant moved in and notified me after leaving that
he was leaving. Now, he said that he was justified as a
result of me not notifying him of them, even though I was
told by the company that they were already gone. What is
the law on bedbug notification? Do I have to notify every
tenant from now on that it was there beforehand? This is
crazy. Plus, I know there was a discussion of a new law
going into effect but it was never passed. Even if it
does, I have a 2-family and just rent out both sides so the
way I read it, it wouldnt apply to my property. Help, now
he is threatening a lawsuit when he didnt even tell me his
concerns until after he had already left. Plus, I found
out later he was a neat freak and vacuumed his room daily.
What can I do now and what is required for me to do? An
attorney friend told me I was in the right on this but I
want to know if anyone can concur this or has been in this
siutation before in court and what was the outcome on it.
Thanks so much for your help.
