In most cases, your landlord is responsible for taking care of a bed bug infestation in a rental property. They are responsible for providing the tenant with habitable housing, and a home with an infestation isn't considered habitable. If you've lived in a rental home for longer than a year, it is possible that your landlord may blame you for the infestation simply because there is no one else to blame. Be sure to check your regional landlord and tenant agreements for local standards and requirements of renters and landlords when it comes to bed bugs.
