1) Yes, your landlord may be legally responsible to treat your unit for bedbugs. However, you will most likely need some type of legal help. I would suggest filing a bedbug complaint with the RPA. You can click on the link to file a complaint.

2) Yes, you might be able to get out of your lease without any fines or penalties. Once again, you will most likely need legal help. Either way, you will need to get a statement in writing that states that you will not be responsible for early termination fees. Having bedbugs can be enough to claim breach of implied warranty of habitability.

You still need to eradicate the bedbug infestation before you move.

If you move out of your unit, the bedbugs will follow you to your new apartment or rental home. Bedbugs can lay a ton of eggs. The eggs have a sticky coating that allows them to stick to any surface. So if you move, you can be certain the bedbugs will follow you.

Even with professional chemical treatments, they can still follow you.

If you move without treating your bedbug problem first, you will then be 100% responsible for treatment.
