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.

Can landlord be held responsible for loss of furniture if the infestation is coming from another apartment?
Ask your attorney about your local laws, but because the infestation is passing through common areas I suspect that they can be.
Can a landlord legally refuse to remedy an infestation problem in an apartment complex?
It normally depends on how many units are in the complex. If the "complex" is actually a duplex, triplex, or quadplex, then no: it's not an apartment complex and generally the landlord is not responsible for pest control. If there are more than four units then it's an apartment complex, and is subject to more rules: the landlord is normally responsible for the pest control, inter alia. Code Enforcement can help you enforce the laws your by which your landlord must abide.

Is the landlord responsible for the roach infestation?
It depends on two things..which can vary from state to state 1.The landlord tenant laws in your state... 2. The lease agreement. Some States require that the landlord be responsible for all forms of pest control (ie) roaches,rats,mice,bees,bed bugs,ants,spiders,ect ect.. Some States only require the landlord to insure that a rental unit is free from all pests before renting the unit and then any further pest control is the responsibility of the tenant... Lease agreements can also have stipulations for pest control as well according to the laws of the state....(ie) A landlord may be responsible for the control of mice,rats and termites but may not be responsible for roaches,bed bugs and ants... So check your lease and the laws of your state....
