Hello,
Good evening,
A friend has rude tenants in one of his apartments. They curse him loudly, often, and tell everyone they know how much they hate my friend.
Most of his other tenants will say he is the best landlord they have ever had.
Now the rude tenants found bedbugs in their apartment. It is a 3-plex and no bedbugs were found in the other 2 unit.
Therefore, the rude tenants or/and their visitors probably brought the bedbugs.
My friend has just paid a reputable pest control company to spray/treat their apartment for bedbugs.
Can he ask the tenants to pay him for his expense? Would you do that? Is it more legit to only ask for half? Does he have a good chance to win in court if they don't pay?
He never asked tenants to pay for that before but these are so mean he will gladly do that if possible.
Thank you
