After 10 months of stay, tenant is asking to get bed bug inspection done

[Sidra Amir]

There was no complain of bed bugs before. Now, after 10 months of stay, tenant is asking to get bed bug inspection done. Is it my responsibility to deal with this ?

[James Mc Ree]

My leases say Tenant is responsible for pest control if not reported within 10 days of move-in. The answer to your question may be in your lease. If not...

This could be a relationship-building opportunity with your tenant. You might not be obligated to do anything, but could offer an inspection with the recognition there were no bed bugs when they moved in if you can assert that. If so, you might also be able to assert they are responsible for remediation.
