PLEASE HELP! Bed Bug infestation spread to neighbor
Just got a call from the condo association of my rental townhouse. Apparently, the neighbor found bed bugs in his unit so he was letting the neighbors know (aka my tenants) They told him that they had been having a bed bug problem for the last three months and that a mattress that had been placed on the balcony was the result of it being infested with bed bugs. Looks like it will need fumigation. The neighbor already has his unit scheduled for fumigation tomorrow. My unit will need the fumigation too.
Who pays for the fumigation? Not sure if my tenants will be willing to pay for the fumigation. Can I take their full damage deposit when they move out? What about the neighbor, can he sue me to pay for his fumigation. Looks like the cost is about $1250 for two visits by the fumigation company. Any advice appreciated.

You should get several quotes. The prices will vary a lot.
