Rent-to-Own furniture stores have a duty to properly inspect for any infestations, remediate the issue once an infestation is discovered, or destroy the furniture if the bed bug issue cannot be alleviated. Unfortunately many furniture rental establishments fail to live up to their duty resulting in customers renting furniture infested with bed bugs which are brought to their homes.

- Bedroom sets including mattresses and beddings and sheets
- living room furniture incident couches, and carpets
- Dining room furniture including upholstered chairs
