Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I received a phone call from one of my tenants saying they have bedbugs. The apt bldg is 4 units in California. They have lived in this unit for over 5 years. My question is who is responsible for the extermination of these bugs? Thanks

RE: Bed Bugs
It would be in everybody's interest to fix this as quickly as possible, one so the tenants are not forced out of a contract with no where to go, two so the property does not get a bad rep. Work together on it if you can but remedy the problem ASAP. Oh if the living unit become unlivable the tenants do have the right t be releases from the contract with no penalty and they must receive the full security back. If they are good tenants make sure they stay.
