BEDBUG INFESTATION

Pros

Landlord paid for hotel when we were dealing with bedbugs. It’s very sunny and bright with windows everywhere. I liked our super

Cons

We had bedbugs for months and went through so many rounds of extermination only to find more and eventually had to move out. **our apartment had a history of bedbugs that was never disclosed to us when we signed the lease** there is also this neighbor that plays loud music 24/7 and once set their kitchen on fire

Advice to the owners

PLEASE do better extermination and RENOVATE.
