right. i know rental landlords must pay for exterminations. But how about coops? AND how aobut sponsor apartments withing coops - the sponsor pays?
and , no, your own insurance will most likely not cover it.
bedbugs are not about being clean. they are not related to dirt. that is a misconception. in rental apartments, the landlord must pay to get rid of them - the coop is the landlord - so...?
You're right -- and I didn't intend to imply that the two were related. What I meant to write was that our proprietary lease requires apartments to be both:
A) Clean, and
B) Free of pests.
Same rules apply. Same answer, too: It's in your own proprietary lease. You can't take someone else's word for it, just look it up yourself. It's that easy.

Check your proprietary lease. For our co-op, each shareholder (whether it's me or the sponsor) is required to keep their apt clean and free of interlopers. If the board determines that the shareholder isn't taking care of the apt, the board can clean the apt (and hire an exterminator) and charge the owner.
So read the contract!
