Bed bugs, NOT! Tenant annoying

Angela Smith
Posted

I have a tenant who has a complaint every week.  

The question de jour is “has there ever been a bed bug problem in this house?”

I told her it’s never been a concern and her response, “just wondering”.

Then I missed a call from her.

I am absolutely 100% positive bed bugs have never been a concern with this house.  If there are bed bugs, they had to have originated with her!  She’s lived in the house for 6 weeks now. 

How do you address this with your tenants?  Do you treat just because they have a concern?  Is there a way to screen for this?  

I don’t believe there are bed bugs. After this tenant having a new concern every week, I think she either wants out, or she’s neurotic...or both.

Other complaints: Washer/dryer hook ups are in the basement, child is wheezing must be mold (whole house was tested in July...it’s not mold), washer/dryer hook up is in the basement, want to put washer/dryer hook up in the detached garage (Indiana), not enough room on the counter for their big microwave, the washer/dryer hook up is in the basement, want locks re-keyed because she thinks somebody entered her house (nothing missing), washer/dryer......

Driving me nuts!
