The following is a call to action sent out by the Triangle Apartment Association today requesting that all landlords act to support the Bed Bug Bill. Here it is:
House Bill 721 is being heard in the House Commerce & Job Development Committee (tomorrow) Wednesday, June 1 at 10:00AM.
HB 721 attempts to clarify North Carolina public policy by articulating certain duties and safe harbors for the respective parties:
Landlords shall not knowingly lease apartments with Bed Bug problems;
Tenants have a duty to report any Bed Bug infestation within 5 days of suspecting it;
Landlords may obtain an inspection from a licensed pest control company that a dwelling unit is Bed Bug-free; such inspection is conclusive evidence for Landlord compliance with the law;
When inspection reports are issued to Landlords, subsequent infestation treatment is assumed to be the Tenants responsibility;
Tenants in so-called source apartments may be responsible for infestation treatment in adjacent apartments;
Failure of Tenants to comply can result in a.) Landlord contracting for an infestation treatment and billing the Tenant; b.) termination of the tenancy; or c.) pursuit of damages.
We encourage all TAA members (and interested landlords) to contact Committee members and ask them to support the bill. Below please find talking points and a list of contact information for all House Commerce & Job Development Committee Members. Landlord Tenant Bedbug Liability Talking Points
