I live in a building with three apartments. I recently found bed bugs in mine arising from a sofa purchased from Craigslist. The exterminator found remnants of dead ones in the sofa. I’d like to know who is responsible for the extermination of the bed bug infestation — me or the landlord. According to my lease my apartment is suppose to be inhabitable and free of pests. Advise and please no snide comments.
Bklyn Fire Alarm and Dave– Why so hostile to OP? As another poster points out it’s not clear if (s)he brought in the offending sofa or if another tenant did. That said, can we just tell OP that if (s)he brought the bedbugs in, it’s his/her obligation to hire an exterminator to get rid of them? Or if another tenant brought in the bugs, that other tenant should be paying for the exterminator? How easy was that?
I agree that both of you post helpful comments on this board, but that doesn’t mitigate baseless hostility.
Since we’re all detectives now, here’s my view: OP used to own, now she rents. She bought the couch, got an infestation, and now wants permission to make someone else pay for it.
Oh, and she’s a loser.
doesn’t make me think twice, 12:25.
makes me think there are a lot of liars and filthy people who troll around on this website.
namely you and the original poster…
Fake post or not, makes you think twice about buying all that “vintage” furniture and clothing at the flea market.
10:51 brooklynfirealarm posts a lot of helpful comments to people in the Forum. I bet you don’t; and, if the show fits, wear it.
I find brooklyn fire alarm guy’s language and attitude offensive. I wish there were a little more monitoring of this site for sexist and racist bullshit.
I don’t think she’s buying used sofas. I think she’s turning to this forum to aid her with cases. And you say realtors are bad?
I suspect she has a lawsuit where she’s representing one of the parties and she can’t figure it out so she asks on brownstoner. maybe she’s trying to make a landmark case in suing Craigslist or maybe she’s just a second rate hack attorney.
Rebuttal Mina???
10:30 is correct…Mina is a 41 year old female attorney…need any more info????
Apparently she has not won any cases lately if she’s buying a used sofa on Craigslist.
If she posted this just as a prank she’s got bigger problems plus…
