What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are an insect that can live anywhere in your home, and if left untreated, can cause a major infestation. Bed bugs have an oval shape like an apple seed, a flat body, and are red or brown in color. Bed bugs do not fly, but can crawl very quickly.

If I find bed bugs in my home, how do I notify my landlord?
If you find bed bugs, you should immediately tell your landlord.
To get a form letter you can use to request bed bug repairs from your landlord, go to: http://www.MontanaLawHelp.org, then click on Housing and then Repairs.
I am moving in to a new apartment or home. How can I tell if bed bugs have been a problem in the new place in the past? Does my landlord have to tell me if there has been an earlier problem?
Other than notifying my landlord, what are my other responsibilities as a tenant if I find bed bugs? What are my landlords responsibilities if I find bed bugs and notify them?
Both you and your landlord have responsibilities in the landlord/tenant relationship. After you notify your landlord, your responsibilities do not stop there. Below is a list of responsibilities that tenants and landlords have when a problem that requires repairs, like bed bugs, is present.
(1) Tenants Responsibilities When Bed Bugs Are Present:
Tenants have a responsibility under the law to keep their home as safe and clean as is reasonably possible. Unfortunately, bed bugs are as likely to infest a safe and clean home as they are a dirty and unsafe home.
