I am in the middle of treating my apt for bedbugs.  They initially told me I was responsible for the bill but they never told me how much.  I didn’t say anything because I just wanted it treated and would deal with price and negotiations later.  They are getting ready to treat a 3rd time and my infestation I don’t believe was terribly bad…in fact I only SAW a couple.  I went back in after a couple days after the 2nd treatment and they were walking all over the couch.  I cannot be in there anymore.  It has psychologically effected me and my daughter so bad that we are willing to throw out everything I own, move out and start over somewhere else.  Is it possible to get out of my lease and can they keep my deposit $.  I figure that if I get everything out they can make sure it is clear of all bed bugs and can rerent fairly quickly.  If they rerent before my lease is up in August, will I still be responsible for the remainder of my lease?

 I rent an apartment few months ago and bed bugs has been invating the apartment for the past 2 months.  Landlords refused to get an exterminator to come over unless I pay for it.
