Can bed bugs cause eviction?

In the landlord-tenant context, an untreated or improperly treated infestation of bed bugs can be considered a breach of the warranty of habitability. This means that if a tenant has to leave the rental unit because the landlord won't bring in the exterminators, or even that they can't use most of the rental unit becuase of the infestations, then the landlord may be liable for damages. Now in your case, it sounds like you have bed bugs in your home. The question then becomes, are you the landlord for the other apartments that may need service? Another question is whether the infestation started in your unit and spread or started elsewhere and spread to your unit. Bedbugs are a big problem and need to be taken care of by exterminators or it will render a rental unit a nightmare to live in. If you are the tenant, you could face possible eviction on a theory of nuisance. However, in this case, it sounds like you identified the problem, called for pest control, and are cooperating. If that is the case, ti would be difficult to allege nuisance since you took care of the problem in a timely fashion and made the proper notifications to your landlord (you did, didnt you?).
