Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Georgia
Yes ! I reside in apartments been living here for over 3 1/2 years. I have never had a problem with bed bugs till now. So I informed my resident manager, and they informed me that I would have to pay for these services. Do I have to? I am not a nasty person, my apartment is very clean, even though of course it can get junky, and I have boys, but we are very clean people.

You didn't tell us the most important detail -- what does the lease say about pest control services? However, if you google "how bed bugs spread" (yes, lawyers use google a lot) most of the sources say it is brought in by people -- clothing, backpacks, luggage, furniture, etc. It doesn't matter that your apartment and family are clean. The management may stand firm that you or your family or guests brought them in. The most important thing is getting the apartment treated now. Health first, and arguing over money later.
