Bed Bugs in Passaic N.J.

I have a condo with a long term tenant, In April she complained that she has bed bugs in her unit. So I had an exterminator come out and he did the heat treatment to treat the bud bugs well yesterday while picking up the rent she informed me that the bed bugs are back. The first treatment cost me $925. Called the same company that is used by the management company and they want another $925 to come back out. My question is how many times do I have to keep paying and when can I pass the cost onto the tenant ? Went to the association and their telling me its my problem and I have to pay for the treatments but to treat the problem properly the other units around my tenant also need to be treated at the same time or you never get rid of them and like I said before the management company is telling me that there are no other complaints from the other people living around her so I am responsible. Needs some advise on how to best handle this situation

There is a company that will come out and totally eradicate the bedbug problem. The use extreme heat and fans. The treatment takes hours but when they are done you will not have the problem anymore. I'll get you their name in a few.
