Bed bugs + breaking lease... HELP????

Question

Hi my husband and I moved into an apartment complex in may and since then our furniture has become riddled with bed bugs, i'm utterly disgusted, they've sent several extermination companies out to attemp to rid the problem w/ minimal success. I am ready to break my lease and move of course I will need to purchase an entire house worth of furniture again as if I take my current (1.5yr old) furniture with me its likely I will transport the ******* with me. What recourse if any do I have for recouping the cost of my furniture as I never had a bug until I moved here. I live in Ohio if this helps.

Answer 1

if you can prove they were there before you moved in, and your landlord knew about them, you would have a better chance of recouping costs and suing for more.

Answer 2

You might ne able to break the lease without paying extra  (MAYBE) but you will not get money for your furniture.

Answer 3

housing court is your only solution, proof of the bed bugs is required, like they cannot only be limited to your apartment, also the exterminator bills need to be presented.
