Extra rent because of bad bug treatment on Move-out

By imMe

I was renting apartment in San Jose, CA. 
My Landlord charged me $2400 (which is one month rent for the apartment) extra for the bed bug treatment on move-out.
Am I responsible to pay extra on month rent for their treatment.?
They also charged me $1500 (Cleanig + bed bug treatment), which I’m willing to pay.
Any advice, how to follow up on this with my landlord?

Hi, first off it is the landlords responsibility to maintain the habitability of the apartment. It is his responsibility based on the law provided by the health and rental code. So you actually dont have to pay anything. You will only pay if it is stated on the lease itself. If not you may file a complaint in RPA to resolve this, see the link here http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php
