Bed Bug Abatement
Are you a landlord in Connecticut? Are you aware of Public Act No. 16-51, which passed and is effective October 1, 2016? The Connecticut Legislature enacted a law that provides a timeline for the inspection and treatment of bed bugs, along with a delineation of the responsibilities and obligations of landlords and tenants.
Upon first receiving notification (oral or written) regarding bed bugs, a landlord has five days to inspect the premises. Once inspected, the landlord has two days to provide written notice stating whether or not the unit is infested. If the unit is infested, you have five days from the inspection to treat the unit.
In addition to the new timeline, the legislature also provided — under section (d)(2) — an avenue to get an order from the court when a tenant is not complying with your notices or is failing to allow access. Our company was one of the first companies in Connecticut to successfully obtain an order from the court under the new law.
