he sent one exterminator who walked around my room and sprayed an inexpensive, non-working, small can of "bug repellent" around the corners of my room. Obviously, this does not help.

I hired my own personal exterminator at my own expense (costing me well over 500 dollars) and bought my own sprays that work (costing me 100 dollars each).

They finally went away for 2-3 months, and now they are back. I recently saw one crawling around my bed in front of my friends while they were in my room. Please imagine how embarrassing this was for me. Not only did I spend a lot of money getting rid of them, my friends did not want to come over any more.

I am warning any one who is looking to live in this apartment. There are many tenants with pets (especially one that lives on the bottom floor who brings more than one home every day as their profession), and obviously, pets lead to more critters/bedbugs/ticks/roaches around this apartment.

If you are reading this, landlord, please get to this as soon as possible. It is infecting our entire building.

en proceeded to find a much cheaper apartment. I do not know the reality of these bed bugs but she found a cheaper apartment and I lost the rent for the next several months. I have to find a new tenant at a lower rent and give a broker a commission. Who lost what? I tried to do what ever I could to keep this tenant.

a pesticide spray. They would come in to our apartment once every two weeks and spray the floorboards, walls, and furniture (leaving behind a white film). We, in turn, washed and dry-cleaned everything we owned, at our own expense. The biting would stop for a week, and then return. By mid-winder we knew we had to move out. One of my roommates couldn't sleep in her bed, and I was waking up at all hours thinking I was being bitten. Our landlord refused to return our (very large) deposit because we were terminating the lease early, and took no responsibility for the infestation of the apartment. He refused to even admit that there were bedbugs, despite us having shown his exterminator the bugs on several occasions, and his exterminator having agreed on those occasions that they were indeed bedbugs.
I highly advise not living in this building. If the emotional/physical strain is not enough, then certainly the lack of assistance and compassion from the management company is. My roommates and myself are now out over $7,000 dollars, not including our drycleaning and furniture cleaning expenses.
