My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California.
I recently discovered and reported a bedbug infestation in my apartment to my landlord. Sadly, but possibly predictably, he blames ME for the infestation and feels that I should pay for the cost of treatment.
The exterminator he hired says that only my apartment is affected after inspecting 6 apartments (including mine)... I am reluctant to accept his conclusion, of course, as the exterminator that I hired to inspect the apartment told me that bedbugs can come from many sources - not necessarily my fault, in other words.
I have been a good resident in the apartment for about 10 months, and I feel that my prompt reporting of this problem to the owner has been met with a most
_ungrateful_ reaction!
I am moving out at the end of my lease - I can't stand the thought of staying in that place for even one more night!
Thank you for any help.
