Excuse my "long term tenant" but I am the other person that lived on the third floor and obviously you don't know the whole story. The bugs were brought in by a man on the third floor who worked at a junk yard yes, but we did not refuse to get rid of our furniture. We lost all of it and slept on an air mattress and even moved into the apartment across the hall from us to give them the chance to spray. The slumlord and his father refused to pay until I contacted the residential tenancy branch and
filed a complaint, only then did they finally get it sprayed. We moved out because we posted letters to tenant stating the situation and ended up being the only ones who did a damn about it. Enjoy the slum life.

There was an incident involving bedbugs in the building. But once the Landlord's father, who has now taken over all the building responsibilities, heard about it, it was taken care of right away. One of the 2 tenants on the top floor, was responsible for bringing them into the building by old dirty infested furniture. The other tenant who was complaining about finding some in their apartment on the 3rd floor, refused to get rid of their infested furniture because they didn't want to have to pay
for new ones, yet they continued to complain about the problem. This tenant is no longer in the building. I know that you can never fully rid an old building of the bugs, but the Landlord's father has done a great job of keeping up with the building reponsibilities, and making sure all the tenants problems are resolved. That is why after 3 years I continue to stay in this building.

There was a small bedbug infestation that was taken care of promptly. It didn't become serious and only affected about 4 apartments. Orkin came in for their follow up inspections and have found no bugs. They'll be returning annually to inspect the building for any bugs.
It was not a major incident, no one suffered any damages, and no lawsuits were filed. Who wants a building full of bugs? It's easier to clean up a small problem before it becomes a big, very expensive, mess.

Bedbugs were found in more than one apartment in this building. Landlord was not willing to spray building or help tenants get rid of their bug problem. One tenant proved to Landlord that she had contracted the bugs from this building but Landlord was still not willing to help. Went as far as filing a law suit to pay for damages.
