Business And Property Owner Duties Involving Bed Bugs
All business and property owners – whether of hotels, furniture stores or vacation rentals – have a duty to properly maintain their premises free of bed bugs. These pests often enter the premises on the clothing or in the bags of either guests or employees that work at the business.
It is reasonably foreseeable that a bed bug infestation could take place nearly anywhere. Therefore, the owner of a business must take precautions to prevent bed bugs from residing on their premises. Regrettably, most business and property owners do not have any policies or inspection procedures in place to prevent the infiltration of bed bugs.
In addition to implementing bed bug procedures, once a business is aware of a bed bug problem, they have a duty to warn all guests, employees and customers and to take proactive measures action to prevent the spread of bed bugs. When they fail to do so, they can be held accountable.
