Tenant Rights in the Context of a Bed Bug Infestation

As a tenant, it’s important to understand your rights in the context of a bed bug infestation. Landlords have a legal responsibility to provide a safe and habitable living environment for their tenants, which includes addressing any pest infestations, such as bed bugs. If your landlord has failed to take appropriate measures to address a bed bug infestation, you may have grounds to take legal action.

In such cases, it’s crucial to document the presence of bed bugs in your rental unit. Take photos or videos of the infestation, keep records of any communication with your landlord regarding the issue, and document any expenses you have incurred as a result of the infestation, such as the cost of replacing infested belongings or medical expenses related to bed bug bites.

Filing a Lawsuit for Compensation

When you consult with our team at DAG Law Firm, APC, we will thoroughly evaluate your case, gather evidence, and develop a strategic legal approach to pursue compensation for the harm and losses you have suffered.
