Massachusetts H5027 outlines tenant and owner responsibilities for bed bug infestations in dwelling units.
Massachusetts H5027 mandates that tenants must provide access to their dwelling units for inspections and exterminations, comply with certified applicator instructions, and notify owners of bed bug presence. Owners must inspect units upon knowledge of infestations, retain certified applicators, and perform necessary treatments. Owners are exempt from liability unless they fail to comply with the act's requirements. The Department of Public Health must create an informational sheet about bed bugs, available in English and Spanish, which owners must provide to tenants at lease signing.
