What can you do if you move into an apartment that has bed bugs and the landlord is unwilling to help out?

If you have moved into an apartment unit infested with vermin, you need to immediately set forth a written paper trail as to the problem with your landlord requesting immediate resolution keeping a copy of all letters for future records.

If the landlord does not make the requested eradication of the vermin problem within the demanded period of time, I would contact the local health department and ask for an inspection. Possibly the landlord will be cited and be forced to make the corrections as requested.

You should also consider consulting with a landlord tenant attorney about the situation as well. Good luck.
