COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter)

I did basic move in inspection on the morning of 31 Jan 2013 and moved in in the afternoon. While i was doing my move in inspection i asked the manager if this apartment has any pest problem. She said NO. On night of 2/1/2013 i saw white powder underneath my both bathroom and kitchen sink. I didn't get good feeling so i took a picture and showed it to the manager and again asked if they were/are treating for any kind of pests. The manager again said that there were no problems. Then i unpacked my belongings on (saturday and sunday) 2/1/2013-2/2/2013 with the help of my Girl friend. On Wednesday she told me that she has rashes on her body and signs of bites (i have picture). On Thursday night, I saw few (4) tiny little insects crawling on my bed. I took picture and googled if they were bedbugs. Alas, they were bedbugs. I went to the manager and told her that my unit is infested with bedbugs. They started spraying my apartment but i would see few dozens every night. I started getting sick from the chemicals they were spraying in my apartment. I asked them to transfer me to different unit because i couldn't live in the apartment seeing more than dozens of bedbugs and smell of the chemical. Manager told me that they don't have any Units available at that time ( This is a lie i can prove it ). I also asked/requested them to break my lease, since they hide/withhold the pest history in the unit( i can prove). I continued to suffer from bed bugs and the stress associated with it. Then the management decided to give me $50 off of march rent for the trouble i am going through and they also told me that if i break my lease i will have to pay the financial consequences of breaking the lease. So, i accepted the offer and felt helpless. I tried to avoid going to the apartment as much as i could by staying at friends place or staying at work. There has been nights where i have left the apartment at mid-night because i couldn't stay there. Just a week ago, they rented the apartment next to mine that was being sprayed for bedbugs(i can prove it). They broke that lease few days ago(I can prove it). The management first said that they would treat for 14 days after treatment started and would decide about breaking my lease, then they extended to march 8 and then march 20 and now they are saying they will decide after april 1. I started renting another place from 15, but i still have my infested belongings in the apartment. I need Help. Shiva.

From Date IP Address Response
Landlord Apr 12, 2013 24.10.189.230 Explain why you can't accept / Offer Alternative Resolution.
Renter Apr 9, 2013 71.199.0.124 I have been requesting to break my Lease not because of the reasons Management mentioned (Resident will not be released on grounds of voluntary or involuntary school withdrawal or transfer, voluntary or involuntary business transfer, loss of employment, divorce, loss of co-residents, bad health, problems with other tenants) I want my lease to be broken because: 1. THE MANAGEMENT placed me in the apartment that is infested with bedbugs. 2. Didn’t disclose that my unit was being recently treated for BEDBUGS, and again LIED/didn't disclose to me when I showed the suspicious white powder underneath my sink(for pests) the day after i moved in and before unpacking my belongings. 3. The management did this to me and has done this to another person (Casie Meyers) in UNIT 17. Management broke lease for #17 and didn’t break mine, instead threatened me for further legal and financial consequences. My lease wasn’t broken because I am an international and this is DISCRIMINATION. The management mentioned in the first sentence “She cannot authorize my entire request”. This issue is killing my professional, financial and personal life and I want this issue to be resolved ASAP. Please let me know what Management is willing to do to solve this issue. Thanks, Shiva.
