In a ruling, adjudicators say it's not good enough for a landlord to just keep spraying pesticide as the "cheapest" option for bug control.

In its ruling, the board ordered the company to pay the tenant $2,515 in costs to cover hotel bills from when they had to leave the apartment the pesticide treatments, medical treatment for their daughter, moving and legal costs. The tenant still hasn’t been paid, although, in an email Friday afternoon, the company said the payment was being processed and would be delivered this month.

Paying $2500 does not seem proportional to what they had to go through and having a young kiddo involved too. For the owner of a high rise that’s not a deterrent for them to not do it again. Two and a half years just for that. Yikes. Bed bugs can fuck right off.
