So, we have discovered bed bugs in our apartment. I'm sure you guessed by my post. They showed up in my brother's room and when he decided to move all his stuff out of the room and into the living room they showed up in my own room within the night. Other apartments have apparently had histories, including a tenant (two floors down but next to the laundry room) who was recently evicted.
Anyways, we have sent a notice of infestation to the landlord last week. The lease says that they will handle it. I'm getting eaten alive, and we haven't received a response. Now I'm sure some amount of time is still on the clock but I'm getting anxious to be bed bug free. How long do I give them, and what would the next step be if they do not respond? Contact a lawyer?
((I would rather put off expensive things I cant afford such as getting my own lawyer/exterminator as long as possible while still getting it fixed.))
