No & the thought just gives me the heeby-jeebies. I was just exposed to that last year. A landlord rented to a short term 'friend' & they left these guys behind as a gift. Turned out to be $2000 worth of extermination I guess.

Yes, it is bin a big issue recently, so they created a form. But I think, it is more issue for airb&b properties where people rotate fast.

It is a disclosure because some landlords have been rerenting the places and not getting rid of the bugs, or not leting the new tenants know there was a problem

The disclosure just outlines that landlords have to disclose if there is or was a recent problem and lets teantns know what to do to report these pesky critters. I've never had to deal with them but I do hear that they are tough to get rid of and may be an ongoing problem if nottreated correctly.
