you are going to be lucky he he doesn't try to evict you for having pets.

You need to read your lease and see what the landlord is responsible for maintaining. It should be pretty specific (most landlords are). If the spraying of bugs is part of his job, then either withhold payment until he takes care of it, or pay to have it done yourself and deduct this amount from your next rent payment with a copy of the receipt from the exterminator to justify the deduction.

BUT BE SURE YOU'VE NOTIFIED YOUR LANDLORD IN WRITING that this is a problem and he needs to fix it. Send him a letter certified/return receipt and keep the receipt to prove you sent it. Otherwise he can always say he didn't know anything about it, and deduct the cost from your security when you leave.

You can sue anyone you like for anything you want, however it would be better to send the landlord a notice of your problem in writing and give him 14 days to fix the problem. Then if you do not get results put the rent into escrow.

Buy Combat and set out the bait trays in your apartment. I guarantee you this will solve your problem whether your landlord does or not. The roaches will be gone in about a week's time. I had a roach problem once when living in a big, old apartment building. It's ridiculous to have lived with roaches around you just because your idiot landlord won't spray. Invest a little money and the problem will be gone.


Guess Who?
report them to the local health department.


Nancy
If you have the money or an attorney is willing to take your case on contingency, you can try to sue anyone for anything.


Sunshine
Contact the City Office where you reside. They do have environmental and health codes; they would probably inspect the place and issue a citation or whatever to rectify the matter. Good luck.

Generally instead of suing, you put your rent money into a seperate checking account and withold payment until the problem is fixed.

If you vacate, you can often sue for return of rent money/deposit.

You can call a state licensed exterminator & take the cost off your rent. Be sure & include a copy of the bill to the landlord. If they refuse & try to evict you for doing this, then you can stop paying & put your monthy rent into a special account that you set up at your banking institution. When it comes time to go into court, having the proof that there IS money that is waiting to be released to your landlord in lieu of the money you spend on a NECESSARY REPAIR, the judge usually will see it your way & so will the landlord & their attotney/agent. If you have no money stashed away, it looks like you are just another renter who is trying to get one over on their landlord!
