Common use of BEDBUGS Clause in Contracts

BEDBUGS. I hereby acknowledge and agree that high density populations are occasionally subject to pest outbreaks, including but not limited to bedbugs. With the declining use of pesticides coupled with increased exposure due to travel, outbreaks of bedbug infestation have been occurring at fine hotels, college/university residences and hostels across Canada and the U.S.A, and bedbugs may be unknowingly brought to the Residence by a student in his or her luggage. I hereby acknowledge and agree that should I suspect that my Room has bedbugs, I shall contact the Residence front desk right away and the College will take actions to investigate. If the presence of bedbugs is confirmed, the College will engage a professionally licensed pest control company to treat the problem. To reduce the likelihood of further infestation, the College will check adjacent rooms as well. I hereby confirm that I will provide my full cooperation and active participation in dealing with the treatment, including, but not limited to, laundering my linen and clothing using as hot a washing/drying cycle as possible. I acknowledge that the College will steam clean the carpet in my Room which will require me to move my personal belongings in order to provide access. I hereby acknowledge and agree that should bedbugs be confirmed, no refund or reduction of fees will occur and I will not be relocated due to the increased risk of spreading the pest. I hereby acknowledge that bedbug eradication is often a lengthy process and it may take repeated actions to treat any bedbug problem in my Room.
