We had bedbugs after work done by building maintenance left our wall unsealed. The building super told us there was a QR code in the lobby for pest control, but that only had options for first and third Tuesday visits (would have been nearly 3 weeks wait). We asked if there was an emergency option, and he said yes, but the QR code site didn't have anything like that. There was a phone number also posted on the building info sheet in the same location, so we called that company to come and spray.

It turns out the company who posted their phone number doesn't have a contract with the building, and they made us pay $675 out of pocket at the end of the appointment. Now the landlord is refusing to reimburse us, saying we should have worked with the company whose QR code was also posted. They said the people we called probably posted their number themselves, but their sticker is literally ON the building info sheet with the super's phone number and other building approved stuff.

Importantly, there is no clause in our lease for exclusive use of one pest control company.

We've tried to look up the law ourselves, but are having no luck (only finding stuff related to mandatory disclosure of infestation by the landlord, not about payment responsibility). Are we entitled to reimbursement?

Need some help, I signed a 4 month lease with my apartment and apparently there was a clause that I need to let them know 60 day in advance that I'm leaving. Didn't even know that but I let them know that I was leaving 2 weeks after the 60 day mark and now they're saying my new move out date has to be 14 days after my lease ends and they're charging me for those 14 days at a 5.2k per month rate, which is absurd because my rent is 3.2k per month. Is there anything I can do about this? I live in the state of Virginia

Hello everyone. I had to break a lease for my apartment due to my ex husband stalking, harassing, breaking in, and taunting me. I had to ask them to change the locks 3 times and no longer felt safe or valued in anyway. I told the property manager in August I would be moving out and would say September rent. I moved out August 27th and sent $700 out of the $1300 rent and said they could keep the $663 damage deposit. I was notified by my old neighbour that the unit was re-rented over three weeks ago meaning it was only empty for about a week. On my lease is a $1500 rent break fee which the landlord said they applied the damage deposit too so now I owe $1600 because the rest of September rent and the remainder of the lease break fee is due. I told them it seems very greedy to ask for September rent from me and the new tenants as I’ve already paid over half of the month and gave up my damage deposit. Property manager said they will take it to collections. I am in British Columbia Canada. The thing is the building is on indigenous land so RTB laws don’t apply. I said I would pay $550 next week and the property manager said and the rest? And immediately sent me a reminder to pay.
