BED BUGS!!!

By Tenant

My husband and I are renting a room. We’ve been here for 2 weeks now. After 2 days my husband woke up looking like he had the chicken pox. We thought it was mosquito bites but then the 3 night my husband killed a beg bug. After that we informed the landlord of the bed bugs, he too had been bitten. Anyways 2 weeks later we still got bed bugs and I wanna leave!! What are my rights towards my deposit??

Hi Nicole

I was renting a place that had bed bugs too. I did like you want to do and moved. The problem is that the bed bugs followed me. I quickly reacted and moved trying to get away from the bed bugs just to find that you can’t run. I can’t tell you how important it is to treat your rental before moving. The last thing you want is another infestation that was this time, caused by you.

I can’t you much about the deposit thing, but I’m sure someone will post about if you get your rent deposit back if you find bed bugs.

True, you NEED to treat the bed bug problem before moving. Obviously, you are not responsible for the cost of bb treatment and should be entitled to a deposit refund if you move. You will most likely need legal assistance to resolve this complaint. One affordable and effective option would be to file a complaint with the RPA. It will cost you $35, but will help ensure that your rights are being met. Here is a link to the complaint form: https://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center_form.php
