Who pays?

By Tracey

We moved into a rental house and Jan and for 5 months my kids and myself have been getting bite by something.  It started my 1st week there we started getting bites.  I called the landlord and he sent someone out to spray and they found nothing, however, we continued getting the bites.  I fumigated the house, bought insect repellor lights..nothing worked.

Five months later I saw black dots on the wall and removed a picture above my daughters bed and oh my gosh bed bugs and eggs all over it.  I then looked around they were coming out of the baseboards on the ceiling, on the curtians…awful. 

My fiance called the landlord told him and he replied I found a waterbug this morningI’ve done my part.  My fiance said we are not talking about waterbugs were talking about bed bugs biting my family.  He finally agreed to pay half.  I dont feel that is acceptable.  I have 38 bags of laundry to dry I had to burn 2 of my kids dressers and 2 box springs needless to say other items we had to throw out because of eggs.

So my question is who is responsible to pay this?  Should the l;andlord be responsiblesince this was something we moved into?

Thanks,

Tracey
