Bed Bugs in Multifamily home

[Tej Patel]

I have a multifamily house in NJ. My tenants both complained about cockroaches, but the first floor tenant said she also has bed bugs. Knowing this, the cost will be incurred by the landlord. However, should I pay for a treatment throughtout the whole home, or should I allow just treatment in the unit that is exposed to the bed bugs?

You need to have a pest control addendum in your lease for infestations like that. It’s really going to depend what your lease says and if you have something like that. You may have to pay for it if your lease isn’t clear, you don’t want it spreading! & it’s EXPENSIVE!!
