Under s 32(2) of the RTA, the tenant is also obligated to maintain the property in a sanitary condition. This includes notifying the landlord of any suspected infestation. Upon discovery of a bedbug infestation, the tenant is obligated to cooperate with the landlord in treating the infestation. If tenants do not cooperate, they could be found liable for the cost of treatment, or be evicted. The landlord is obligated to get rid of the infestation '''unless''' it can be '''proven''' the tenant brought the bedbugs with them when they moved in. | Under s 32(2) of the RTA, the tenant is also obligated to maintain the property in a sanitary condition.

If a landlord refuses to have the suite or building treated, the tenant can apply to the RTB for an order compelling the landlord to do so, or as noted above can get an order from a city inspector. Vancouver Coastal Health no longer does inspections, but is available to answer questions over the phone at 604-675-3800. | |||
