COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter)

There were bed bugs in the apartment and initially when I suspected I tried to apply bed bug spray. But since it did not eliminate bugs, I complained to landlord and they brought the exterminators and told me that it will be under my expense. Even upon repeated requests, I was never told about the amount for the etermination charges and I was asked to contact exterminators. Upon contacting exterminators, they did not provide me amount and told that they sent invoice to Kissling. All this was going on while property is under renovation and Kissling gave us 60 day notice period to vacate. Even when I was vacating, I was never told about charges. But when setling my security they charged $2514.12 as the Move out charges and all the description provided to me was "tenant refused walkthrough". At the time of moving out I was never told what the formalities are and i was just asked to drop the keys, but I was charged for $10 deposit I paid for parking tag.

It has caused tremendous stress to me and I had to find new place in a day. I

Renter Oct 14, 2012 69.207.22.218 1.Though I do not accept any responsibility for bed bugs, to resolve the issue, I will agree to take out the $ 150 as the extermination costs for my unit and return rest of $750 deposit. I would like you consider this and cooperate on this mediation process. Otherwise, I will have to close the case give case a negative publicity record
Renter Jul 24, 2012 63.95.36.13 I do not think I am responsible for building any bed bugs. If landlord had to exterminate bugs in entire building then I might be the first person to complain but I do not think I am responsible for bed bugs in any way. I do not accept responsibility for bugs in my unit let alone entire building
