QUESTION
Can I sue because of bedbugs?
Asked on Aug 27th, 2012 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
I was unknowingly rented an apartment with bedbugs in Oct of 2011. I didn't realize what the bites were for a couple months. I found dead groups. One on my back. I was given a new apartment after exterminators failed to erradicate. The new apartment also got bedbugs coming in from the walls. The apartment building has had a problem since 2007. I'm losing everything I own and moving upstate.

Yes, you have the ability to sue for damages. Did you sign a bedbug rider when you moved in??? You need to call an attorney you might be entitled to damages and expenses.
