TAKE CARE OF THE BED BUG PROBLEM <> if you don’t rid your rental from bed bugs before you move, you will bring them with you to your new place. Not only is that unfair to the relative that is allowing you to move in with them, it is just plain irresponsible.

You MUST treat the unit for bed bugs prior to moving OR it will spread to the next place!!

If this were just a bed bug issue, the answer I could provide you would be simple and clear… file a complaint with the RPA. However, since this is really a non-payment of rent issue, well you’re really in a bad spot. No matter what issue is effecting the property, the major breach is the non-payment of rent.

While bed bug treatment is 99% the landlords responsibility, because you have allowed yourself to get 2 months behind on rent and are now being evicted… you’re a bit on the low luck side. If you can bring your rent current before the court date, then and only then do you really have much ability to pursue the bed bug infestation problem.

Bed bugs are a big problem. The RPA claims that it is the #2 most popular complaint filed by tenants. So, if you need help getting your landlord to treat for bed bugs, file a complaint. However, you still really need to address the late rent problems.
