Tenant, MA, Boston, Massachusetts, BadBug

Hi BP Landlord,

I have a prospective tenant whom is a section 8. She has three little kids, and currently lives in a shelter.

I really don't mind section 8 as some of them are good. I need to re-enforce the rule every now and then.

We have a concern about bedbug. My wife works in the medical field, and she used to volunteer around the community. She knows most people from/at the shelter carry bedbug.

My question is, how do you usually screen for bedbug? It is definitely expensive to remove.

Thanks,

-Chan-
