I'd like to know if my landlord can be made to compensate me for (1)expenses incurred while trying to rid my apartment of a flea infestation and (2)days when I was unable to reside in my apartment during the infestation.
I do not have a pet and an expert suggested that I tracked flea eggs into my apartment via my shoe soles. When I realized I had fleas, I called apartment management several times. It took 10 days for them to respond to me and an additional week before an exterminator was brought in. In the meantime I had purchased foggers, sprays and powders and had begun treatment myself.
When the exterminator came, he said it would be 10 days after he sprayed before all the fleas would die. For health reasons I could not live there with the fleas a day longer so I stayed with my daughter for 10 days.
So, can my landlord be made to pay me for the flea treatments I purchased (when he did not respond to my calls) and the final 10 days I was unable to reside in the apartment?
Thanks,
Msjack
