Common use of BEDBUGS Clause in Contracts

BEDBUGS. This community has a comprehensive plan of action to follow when we encounter bedbugs in our community. Bedbugs are now a pandemic, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Following a systematic plan will ensure that the issue is mitigated quickly and will protect other Tenants, family members, and guests in the community. Every effort is made to protect Tenants from the social embarrassment associated with having a bedbug infestation. Because self-treatment poses extreme dangers to Tenants and family, we require that a licensed pest management professional be engaged to help respond and treat infested apartments. Without full cooperation of the Tenant, this treatment program will not be successful. Because involving a pest management professional in the eradication plan is very difficult and costly, we require Tenants to cooperate fully in the treatment solution and policies relating to controlling bedbug infestations. Integrated pest management requires that the Tenant, landlord and pest management professional work together. Lack of cooperation will result in termination of tenancy. This will acknowledge that all parties are aware of bedbug issues and will cooperate throughout the tenancy to deal with potential issues. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has inspected the unit and is aware of no bedbug infestation upon move in.
