The New Hampshire Union Leader reports that the New Hampshire Senate passed House Bill 482 Thursday, which outlines the parameters for dealing with bed-bug infestations and the responsibilities of landlords and tenants to remediate the problem.
You can read the full text of HB482 here.
According to The Union Leader,
The bill is a compromise among all the stakeholders, including tenants, landlords and municipalities. Proponents say the bill will allow a rapid response that clarifies the responsibilities for remedial action.
The bill grew out of the work of the Bed Bug Action Committee, bringing those affected by bed-bug infestations together to reach a compromise on the best methods to fight the problem.
The bill now goes to the governor.
House Bill 482 has a number of provisions, including the following requirements:
Regarding this last provision, sections IV and V of the bill outline how theyre planning to determine responsibility; it appears that if there havent been other complaints from tenants and if the infested unit and adjacent units havent previously been treated, the original tenant will be considered responsible as the one who brought bed bugs into the building.
Thats a bit troubling, because the problem is, where theres a concern that one might be held financially responsible (and be unable to pay), some tenants simply wont report the problem.
Of course, the bill is smart in the sense it sets up a situation where assuming that happens, and bed bugs spread into other units the original tenant can be held responsible as the true source.
