BED BUG AGREEMENT

Landlord and Tenant each agree to abide by the following promises and further agree that these promises form a
part of the Lease and supersede and replace any and all provisions of the Lease to the contrary.

1. Purpose. It is Landlord’s goal to maintain the highest quality living environment for our Tenants. Tenants
have an important role in preventing and controlling bed bugs. While the presence of bed bugs is not always
related to cleanliness or housekeeping, good housekeeping will control the problem by identifying bed bugs,
minimizing infestation, and limiting its spread.

2. Landlord’s Representation. Landlord has not been notified of, and is not aware of, any evidence of the
current presence of bed bugs or of any current bed bug infestation in the Property. If there was, in the past,
any bed bug infestation in the Property of which Landlord was made aware, such infestation was
professionally treated by a pest control professional.

3. Tenant’s Inspection and Acknowledgement. Tenant has inspected the Property prior to the date of this
Addendum and/or prior to taking possession of the Property. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date of this
Addendum and/or as of the date Tenant took possession of the Property, there are/were no bed bugs present in
the Property.

4. Tenant’s Representations. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord:

a. Tenant is not aware of the presence of bed bugs or any bed bug infestation in any of Tenant’s
furniture, clothing, belongings or personal property.
b. Tenant has fully disclosed to Landlord any previous bed bug infestations that Tenant has
experienced in the past.
c. If Tenant previously resided in an apartment or other Tenant living space that had a bed bug
infestation, Tenant is not bringing into the Property any furniture, clothing, belongings or
personal property that was located in such apartment or other Tenant living space unless such
furniture, clothing, belongings or personal property was professionally treated by a pest control
professional.
5. Tenant’s Responsibilities. For the entire term of the Lease, and any renewal terms and extensions of the
Lease, Tenant agrees to maintain the Property in a manner that prevents the occurrence of a bed bug
infestation, and to respond appropriately to any infestation. Specifically, Tenant agrees:
a. To practice good housekeeping and adhere to any instructions received from Landlord regarding
housekeeping, such as, but not limited to:
i. Preventing and removing clutter;
ii. Keeping the Property clean, including regular dusting and vacuuming;
iii. Not bringing into the Property second-hand or found furniture;
iv. Covering mattresses and box springs with approved bed bug resistant zippered coverings;
v. Arranging furniture in such a way as to minimize bed bug hiding places (such as keeping
furniture several inches away from the walls);
vi. Checking for “hitch-hiking” bed bug if Tenant has traveled and after Tenant has had
guests in the Property.

Page 1|3
 V2020.6.22

b. To immediately report to Landlord any signs, evidence or indication that there are any bed bugs
in the Property.
c. In the event of a bed bug infestation, real or perceived, not treat the Property or hire any other
person or entity to treat the Property.
d. In the event of a bed bug infestation, real or perceived, to fully and completely cooperate with
Landlord and any pest control professionals hired by Landlord, and follow all instructions given
by Landlord and any pest control professionals hired by Landlord in connection with their efforts
to remediate the infestation and treat the Property. Tenant acknowledges that failure to comply
with such instructions may prevent successful remediation and treatment of the infestation and/or
may cause a re-infestation.
6. Default. The following shall constitute a default of this Addendum:
a. Tenant’s failure to promptly report to Landlord the presence of any bed bugs, or any bed bug
infestation in the Property;
b. Tenant’s failure to promptly report to Landlord the presence of any bed bugs, or any bed bug
infestation in any of Tenant’s furniture, clothing, belongings or personal property;
c. Tenant’s failure to comply with any instructions given by Landlord and/or any pest control
professionals hired by Landlord in connection with their efforts to remediate the infestation and
treat the Property;
d. If any of Tenant’s representations in this Addendum are not entirely true;
e. Any other violation of any other provision of this Addendum.
A default of this Addendum will be and constitute a material default of the Lease. In the event of a default,
Landlord shall have, and be entitled to exercise without notice, all remedies set forth in the Lease. In addition,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred and/or paid by Landlord that result from,
or arise out of, any bed bug infestation and/or remediation or treatment in the Property.
7. Indemnification. If Landlord incurs any obligations, costs, liabilities, claims, damages or losses (including
attorney's fees and court costs) that result from (1) Tenant's actions or omissions, or (2) the actions or
omissions of Tenant's family, guests, or any other person in the Property with Tenant's permission, or (3) any
bed bug infestation in the Property or in any other rental unit that results from or arises out of any infestation
in the Property, or (4) any bed bug infestation in any of Tenant’s furniture, clothing, belongings or personal
property, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all such obligations, costs, liabilities,
claims, damages and losses (including attorney's fees and court costs).
This means that if Landlord pays any money, including court costs and attorney's fees, as a result of (1)
Tenant's actions or omissions, or (2) the actions or omissions of Tenant's family, guests, or any other person
in the Property with Tenant's permission, or (3) any bed bug infestation in the Property or in any other rental
unit that results from or arises out of any infestation in the Property, or (4) any bed bug infestation in any of
Tenant’s furniture, clothing, belongings or personal property, Tenant agrees to be responsible for, and will
pay or reimburse Landlord, all such amounts paid or incurred by Landlord.

8. Renewal. If the Lease is renewed or extended, whether in writing or otherwise, and whether once or multiple
times, this Addendum shall automatically renew and/or be extended along with the Lease without the need for
Landlord to obtain Tenant’s signature on another Bed Bug Addendum or any other document.

9. Modification. All other provisions of the Lease that are not specifically and expressly amended by this
Addendum remain in full force and effect.

Page 2|3
 V2020.6.22

obligations under it, and has had the opportunity to have it reviewed by an attorney.

of which are acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound.
