A March 15, 2011 memorandum from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Chicago Region suggests that responsibility for bed bug treatment lies with the landlord. Highlights of the March 15, 2011 memo include the following:
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can be transported to your home from literally any place and by anyone that has been in contact with the pest.
Bed bugs can be introduced to a property by simply hitchhiking on the clothing or belongings of residents or visitors.
Bed bugs could be introduced to a property by the landlord, landlords employees, maintenance personnel, contractors, vendors, government representatives, or anyone who has or had access to a property.
No one is immune from transporting these pests from one location to another.
Bed bugs are not linked to poor sanitation or poor housekeeping.
It is virtually impossible to prove fault with regard to who may have created the bed bug infestation within a property.
Residents should not bear the sole burden regarding the introduction of bed bugs to a property.
Landlord polices should be reasonable and should not penalize tenants because they discovered and reported bed bugs within their unit.
When tenants report that they have bed bugs in their unit, landlords first should inspect the unit and confirm that the pest is in fact bed bugs, and if so, should immediately begin to treat the problem.
