Landlords are responsible for treating bedbugs. I actually find it nice that your landlord has offered to treat your apartment even if you haven’t seen any bedbugs. Know that there are only a few landlords who would do that for their tenants. With regard to how soon they should have said something, that remains to be part of the discretion of the landlord. If they would have told everyone, wouldn’t that have caused panic? A landlord can only be held legally liable if they did not do anything to treat the bedbugs and as for your last question, you cannot legally break your lease agreement because yes, your landlord is working on resolving the issue with bedbugs.
