Upon moving into my apartment i informed my landlord i have never lived with pests, that i am afraid of them, and i did not want the apartment if there was a problem. He assured me there was not a problem and even said he keeps the building on the up and up and there has never been a roach problem. I asked him again before i signed the lease if he was sure because i am terrified of bugs once again he assured me there was no problem i had nothing to worry about.
Well a few weeks at the apartment which by the way is a very clean unit and i am a perfectionist so i clean the walls the ceiling everything is nice and clean in my unit the building is in a nice neighborhood and is a nice brick builing with 6 units. Anyway a few weeks in i started to see a baby roach here and there i thought nothing of it but did inform the landlord. He in return sent over his friend to spray the building.
That helped for a couple of days then the roaches were back at it again one night i killed 15 to 20 of them and as you can imagine could not sleep they kept coming from the bathroom ceiling. I immediatly informed the landlord once again he said he would send over his friend when his freind got some free time from work![]()
The friend finally came by and sprayed this time the landlord passed out a can of knock off raid to all the tenants. Since then I had still seen them from time to time but now they are back with a vengence i even found one dead in my refrigirator. I called the landlord again about the problem this time he and his friend are going to set off roach bombs WOWwhich they probaly got from the dollar store or menards. I am so upset i havent even been sleeping in my apartment i stay at a friends because of the roach problem i cannot afford to move right now what can i do legally if anything? Please someone HELP!!!!!
