Bed bugs

              I am wondering how I can find out if my apartment I am renting or the building in which my apartment is in has had a previous problem with bed bugs? and If so how was the problem treated? I have lived in my apartment for almost 6 months.Just recently, my son has started getting bites all over him.This morning I awoke to find 2 large bed bugs on my furniture! 1 on my couch and the other on my love seat! How do I find out if this hs happened to anyone else who has lived in this apartment or building here?

In the state of Kansas who is responsible for the extermination of bed bugs the landlord or tenant? We live in a duplex and both sides have them.

I live in an apartment complex in Lancaster, PA.  I have lived there for 1 1/2 years.  I noticed bedbugs in my apartment.  I left the office know and now they say that I am responsible for cost of extermination $1500.00+.  They say that I am responsible because no one else in the building has complained about bedbugs but me.   Am I responsible for all cost of extermination?

Hi Shirley!What does your lease say about bug infestations? If it says that your landlord must pay for the treatment then he must. If he refuses then you can file a complaint against your landlord. You have two ways to do it. You can either ask a lawyer to represent you or you can ask assistance from a private mediation company like the RPA.

i first came across the bed bug problem about two weeks ago.. i immediatlu contacted the building management and then my landlord my landlord took about a week before he took care of the problem. it has now been two wesks and i.noticed that the treatment my landlord used didnt work and i still have bedbugs. i was wondering if he would be responsible for not only the treatment to get rid of the bed bugs but to get all my clothing and bedding cleaned again. it cost me near 150 the last time to get everything ib my house clean. i ws also wondering if he would have to find me a new place to live if the problem.continues or if i could break lease do to this problem. im very concerned because i have a two month old and i feel like he should not be living in this environment.i have nsver had this problem before and have no idea how to go about this. please help if u can

I just moved into a town home that has bedbugs.  On the first day I noticed them.  What are my rights in this situation?

First of all, your landlord should be informed about the bed bug problem. Once informed, your landlord must pay for the treatment costs in order to have your town house bed bug free. It is the responsibility of your landlord to ensure that the rental property is habitable at all times. Now if you’ve already informed your landlord and no action has been done, then it’s time to file a formal complaint against him. RPA has that option under their complaints tab. You may want to use their services.

Bed bugs could be caused by infestation coming from pets or people who visit you through the things they brought. If in case this would happen, you can try asking your landlord if they have a bed bug plan ahead of time. Sometimes we all get scared that we may be evicted but it is at most of the times a part of the landlord’s job to have back up plans for infestations like this. You can try talking to them and if there is an agreement it would be good news. Otherwise, you can always seek legal aid or do the extermination yourself.
