Bed Bugs Infestation can result in the landlord being liable for failing to maintain their property in a safe and habitable condition
Most states permit bed bug victims to take legal action for physical injury, emotional distress, and personal property loss and damage.
Landlords can be held liable for failing to inspect and take reasonable measures to prevent bed bug infestation, such as spraying their property regularly and keeping it clean and sanitary.
For most plaintiffs, the preferred venue to take legal action against the property owner is in small claims court. However, small claims courts limit the damages a plaintiff can receive.
For plaintiffs with extensive damages, there are lawyers that specialize in bedbug litigation and have obtained large verdicts against negligent property owners.
