Perhaps a clause requiring the T to "sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite" would be in order?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

To: 'RPPTL Landlord Tenant Committee'
Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Bedbugs

Florida Statutes 83.51  Landlord's obligation to maintain premises provides in part that "Unless otherwise agreed in writing, ... the landlord ... shall, at all times during the tenancy, make reasonable provisions for:  1.  The extermination of rats, mice, roaches, ants, wood-destroying organisms, and bedbugs.  ... "

One of my clients wants to shift the extermination burden to the tenants.  That's easy to draft, but do you know of any potential "unanticipated consequences"  that I should try to cover in the lease?
