Apartment 4R

I answered an ad in craigslist for a room at this address. The room was partially furnished: bed, dresser, bookshelf, and a chair. I moved in July 10th, 2008 approx. I started showing bites the second or third day. I figured out a week later that the room was infested with bed bugs. I printed out the report I found here for the next apartment and showed it to the primary tenant Larry. He claimed no knowledge of the bugs, then acknowledged that there was a problem a year ago but it had been cleared away. He said he would pay for a cleaning lady, and some spray to keep the bugs away. He didn\'t want to talk to the landlord and said it would cost too much money to fix the problem. I decided to leave and find another place. i bought a new bed for the remainder of the month. i threw out a portion of my belongings, wore full clothes to bed at night, and bleached the room once a week until i found a new place. I left at the end of the month. On the way Out I noticed the other roommate was covered in bites as well. I left a note for the next roommate and a jar of dead bugs so that he would understand. He moved out the next day but I think Larry is looking for a new roommate—maybe on craigslist again.

It's pretty simple really. I moved into a new place in August of 2007. One night I was lying in bed reading and felt something crawling on my arm. Having lived in New York for awhile and not knowing about bedbugs, I looked and smashed without really even thinking about it. I do remember thinking it was funny that the bug, after smashed, looked funny, and that the red stuff it emitted was odd. I did not however know about bedbugs at the time and didn't give it a second thought. Five months later, they began to appear in my roommates bed. We have been trying to get the landlord to call an exterminator for 3 weeks now and it is very difficult to sleep. This sucks!
