Laws regarding breaking a lease due to bedbugs vary depending on where you live. In some cases, bedbugs may be considered a landlord's responsibility to address and remedy, while in other cases, the burden may fall on the tenant. Therefore, it is important to review your lease agreement and local laws to determine your options.
In general, if you can prove that your apartment has a bedbug infestation despite the landlord's extermination efforts, you may have grounds to terminate your lease early without penalty under certain conditions. You may need to provide evidence of the infestation, such as pictures, receipts, or any communication with the landlord or exterminator.
However, it is recommended that you speak with an attorney or a legal aid organization to determine the best course of action and to ensure you fully understand your legal rights and responsibilities.

∙ 12y agoBedbugs and fleas are generally not part of standard pest-control/extermination in an apartment. Generally the tenant is responsible for eradicating those pests. This is because bedbugs are found in mattresses, and fleas are found in animals - both of which are brought in by the tenant.

What if Landlord had your apartment exterminated only for roaches knowing that you have a bedbug infestation Landlord refuses to do anything else and will not pay for any more exterminating?
First of all, who caused the bedbugs? Unless you just moved in, or live in an apartment building, it will be assumed that you brought in the bedbugs. Even in an apartment, if no one else is having bedbug problems, and you are not a new tenant, the bedbugs are presumed to be your fault. Therefore, the landlord has no duty to exterminate them, though he may do so and demand that you pay the cost. If you did not bring in the bedbugs, talk to a lawyer, as the landlord may be violating the implied warranty of habitability.
Who is responsible if you move into an apartment that is already infested by bedbugs?
If the bedbugs were already there, the land lord is responsible.

Can bed bugs live in empty apartments?
Yes, bedbugs can live for up to a year or more without having a blood meal. But in some cases unfed bedbugs may move to a neighbouring apartment if they detect the CO2 from a sleeping human in there at night, and particularly if there is easy access between the two apartments. Once they have had their meal from somebody sleeping in that neighbouring apartment, they are then likely to make their home there and breed and lay eggs in there rather than return to the empty apartment where they previously resided.
