Immediately wash and dry your clothing on hot settings or store it in a sealed plastic bag until you can. Ask your landlord to seal any cracks and crevices with caulk, to prevent bed bugs and other pests from entering. Check your rental agreement to see if it contains language that gives you the necessary tools to efficiently handle an outbreak of bed bugs. Many leases will contain language that specifies what the resident’s responsibility is in terms of pest control treatment.

That should be in your lease. In terms of what you wanna do, it’s your call. Talk to your landlord about it first maybe he/she just need some food or something.. if you think that’s not gonna do any good then filing a complaint can never be that bad. file it through RPA. Have it sorted out.
