Hi, I'm a first time landlord, who had to move south due to job relocation, so I decided to rent out my condo unit, which is 1 of a 12 unit dwelling. The unit was bedbug free when my tenant moved in 3 years ago . In February of this year she advised she had bedbugs. I subsequently had the unit professionally treated. Per CT state law the responsibility falls on the landlord? My tenant advised this morning that the bedbugs are back!!!! My question is: how many times as a landlord do I have to pay for treatment , as we are only 5 months out from the initial treatment service. Also, all condo owners pay property management fees, so I contacted the management office to see if we could have the entire building treated, but I was told no, that each unit had to deal with it on an individual basis, and that they didn't want to concern the other owners with what appears to an "isolated" occurence. I feel like I have no rights as a condo owner in a multi dwelling building in which I own only one unit, ad I can't afford to continue to pay for repeated treatment. How can the responsibility fall on me alone? This problem could be stemming from another unit..... Any advise would help. This is becoming a nightmare 😢😢😭😭😭
