Midwest Pesticide Action Center and <a title="Metropolitan Tenant's Organization Homepage" href="www.tenants-rights.org" target="_blank">Metropolitan Tenants Organization</a> will relate the recent changes in Chicago’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance related to controlling bed bugs. Find out how to navigate this recently-enacted bed bug ordinance.

Designed to help both tenants and landlords control bed bugs in a timely way, the ordinance will impact every rental unit in the City as well as condominiums. In addition, the workshop will cover basic knowledge of bed bugs, how they spread, and what can be done about it. Attendees will also participate in a hands-on activity where they will make their own simple bed bug monitoring device.
