walls around the sealed door - Portland Towers had obviously used pesticides in this room before I moved in.

THE WORST part is that we talked to the manager the next day and he pretended like he had no idea. But he kept changing his story and it was obvious he was lying. They moved me into an infested room and I had to wait another week until another apartment was available. In the meantime, I stayed with my boyfriend, and he found a bedbug in his house from my stuff that had been in the apartment for only twelve hours! (fortunately he killed it and that's the only one he ever found). This was the worst move in experience ever. It was very expensive for me personally (I bought pesticides, powder, mattress covers) and I was lied to and they weren't even going to let me move into a different unit until I pretty much freaked out. It was embarrassing and time consuming. I can't wait to get out of here because I've read the reports below and obviously this is a building-wide problem. Pesticides do not work on bed bugs.

The lies from the manager were really really off-putting. I would recommend asking tenants in the building you're moving into or checking this site, because building managers will lie to you to take your money.

loor were moving out every week and there were box springs and mattresses near the dumpster almost constantly.

out the safety of our cats!), and we had to vacate the apartment 3 times over the following 3 weeks. We talked to the manager about how to reduce the spread within the complex and he claimed that he was told by the exterminator that they "couldn't move from apartment to apartment." We asked the manager to at least inform the nearby tenants so that they could be on the lookout. Months later, we talked to people in neighboring units and they had never been informed.

When we left, we had to abandon most of our furniture to reduce the risk of taking them with us! There's no question that this apartment building has bedbugs.

left the blanket on the giveaway table. I suspect many more units were infested based on the number of abandoned mattresses and box springs left near the dumpster. The manager Ken Kowalski never indicated to anyone that the building was/is infested. This property is owned by HARSCH Investments (the Schnitzer family).
