Current (2021) Michigan Law on Bed Bug Control #744034

Asked April 13, 2021, 5:54 AM EDT

Who is responsible for a bed bug infestation in an apartment? A few years ago, it was the landlord who had to pay for the elimination of bed bugs. Now my landlords says that I will need to pay. Also, they do not seem to realize that my unit will not be the only one needing treatment. I am a senior living on SSI and a small pension. I am also not as mobile as I used to be.

Hello Rod,

Your question would be best answered by a lawyer who deals with tenant-landlord law.  Maybe Legal Aid of West Michigan can help you.  Here's a link to their web site:
