I currently reside in California, in the Sacramento / Gold Country area. I am a disabled adult living in a independent living home.
About a week ago I noticed a shiny black spider with red marking (Black Widow) in the room I rent and promptly killed it. Four days later, a spider looking like the other one but slightly larger dropped onto my bed in the evening next to my head, frightening me. It's starting to feel like a infestation. The outside area surrounding my room is crawling with these spiders as well, preventing me from being able to open my windows.
Obviously since the property is older and doesn't have any modern weatherization techniques what steps can I take regarding getting my Independent Living Services (ILS) who run the house I live at to solve this issue? What steps do I need to take before I stop paying rent if this qualifies for not being habitable? I am really scared of spiders and Black Widows are causing loss of sleep, loss of a sleeping area, as well as effects on my emotional wellbeing.
