COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter)

Bed bugs have infested my apartment (Apartment 202) and also the complex. I believe other neighbors were having bed bug problems and I was not informed. I also believe the bed bugs have been present since I moved in in January 2014. Bed bugs are in the washer, dryer, and the washroom floor. I have had to throw away my mattress and the bed frame, which included drawers underneath which stored a majority of my clothes. I was informed by my landlord, Moe, that I was responsible for buying Steri-Fab to disinfect my own apartment. I was told Steri-Fab can only be bought online and I did so for 30$. Exterminators were not called immediately and have yet to arrive. I was told by my landlord that he would "check to see what they (exterminators) could do NEXT time they came around." I requested that my landlord contact SPU Customer Service at (206) 684-3000 to arranged for my mattress to be pick up and disposed of by the city of Seattle, but was instructed instead to leave my mattress in the alley next to the garbage dumpsters for pick up. I went to check out the alley to see where I was to leave my mattress and there were other mattresses where already there. I cannot stay in my apartment any longer since the bugs have spread to my couch, chairs and clothes. I will be leaving the apartment as soon as possible. My original lease was for 6 months (from January to June) and became a month to month agreement after 6 months. First and last month’s rent, as well as a $300 security deposit, was paid upfront before move in. I am requesting the security deposit and last month’s rent $750, since I do not want to live in the infested apartment for the month of July, but have already paid for the month. I am also requesting reimbursement for RPA fees, $30 for Steri-Fab I was instructed to buy to disinfect my apartment, as well as reimbursement for my mattress and bed frame which had to be thrown out due to the infestation.
