Bed bug question
By Richard Montalvo
Hello, I recently discovered bed bugs in my apartment. I don’t know how long they have been around. I live in salt lake city and wanted to know who is responsible for paying to have them removed. The landlord or me? I can’t afford it and landlord seems to want me to take care of it. Thanks. Richard Montalvo

Hi Richard! Sorry to hear about your bed bug problem. Normally when it comes to paying for bed bug treatment the one responsible for it is the landlord unless proven otherwise that you brought the bed bugs in. Also you may have to review your lease agreement and check what it says about pest infestations. If it was written there that your landlord must pay for the treatment then your landlord is required to do so. If nothing was ever done on his part then you can file a complaint against him. I believe the RPA is the best company that can help you find a resolution to your bed bug concern. Good luck though! |

I believe that your state laws require your landlord to pay for bed bug treatment. If he refuses then what better way to deal with it than to file a complaint against your landlord. You have two options on where to file your complaint. You can either file your complaint through your local county or through the RPA. Filing a complaint with your local county might be expensive and time consuming while filing your complaint with the RPA is cheaper and fast. Good Luck! |
