I called my apartment manager and she told me they don't do bed bugs, and extermination was my responsibility. Exterminators are very expensive and all the ancillary cleaning and laundrymat time has been a bit insane. I wonder if i should consider consulting an attorny about their non-involvment policy.

Are you in NYC? In NYC, I have not heard of people getting reimbursed for ancillary bed bug-related expenses except under a negotiated agreement with their landlords. If you are in NJ, then you should contact a tenant organization or a <a href="http://www.lsnj.org/hotline.htm" rel="nofollow">legal services organization</a>. Hi Jose,

I asked other tenants the same question to see if anyone had experience the same problem. I come to find out last week that another tenants apartment was infested and was treated but it was never brought up to others. when i ask last week another tenant said yes that they also had bugs when i found out what they were I spoke to landlord and told him. it took several days before they got some exterminator to give quoits for the building to be worked on... during this time i was not able to stay in my apartment because the situation was to bad to live in so I rented a room for me n my partner n dogs to stay the night until i was able to figure or what we can do. we find a place to stay but the dogs where not allowed at the time so i had to put them in a boarding. I also had to remove my cloth and bag them n get them washed. All of this cost me and i had to use money that was going toward the rent. My question is would i be able to deduct it from the rent without the landlord going after me for it, due to these conditions?
