    Default Can You Move Out and Get Your Deposit Back if Your Apartment Has Bed Bugs

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of:

    Hi,
    I'm living in downtown, Vancouver.
    i moved in apt (unfurnished) on 1st April.
    and i found a bug on that day but i didn't know that it was a bed bug. because i had never seen that before.
    but after i got bed bugs bites i noticed it was a bed bug.
    and i found several bed bugs on that bed.
    so i told the manager and he called a pestcontrl and i got the treatment on 18th April.
    but i've still found the bugs even on the floors and gotten bites a lot.
    so i told the manager that i'd like to move out on June on 26 or 27th April.
    and i asked that i can get the deposit but he said 'it is tricky and NO, because anyone can bring the bugs and the buidling isn't the problem' (i think i didn't see the minimum stay on the contract - but i'm not sure, so i asked how long should i stay and he said '6months' on the day of signing the contract, whic is on 22nd March )

    but i'm 100% sure that i didn't bring the bugs. i found so many reports on the web site 'the bedbug registry' (after moving in this apt) and i just bought two things on 1st April. One is matress and the other is table from IKEA those are only things i have as furniture in this apt, so everything is NEW. i have no second hand goods. THANKS

    This forum is for US law only.

    You might look over the Residential Tenancy Act and your own lease to see what your options are.
