In December 2007 I woke up to discover bugs on my bed and blood smears. By the early January 2008 I had caught one and determined they are bed bugs. I have since thrown out 2 mattresses, my book cases, books and some end tables. My landlord provided two fogging treatments and told me that the rest of treating this has to come out of my own pocket. I vaccum 3-4 times a week, I've caulked baseboards, washed all my clothes and sheets in hot water and sleep with the lights on to prevent their migration. But they are still there. As a renter do I have any rights? Or must I lose everything and leave?
