Bed bugs, NOT! Tenant annoying
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!
