Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

We recently moved in to an apartment that is infested with bedbugs. we notified the landlord and she sent someone to fumigate the place. we just dont feel comfortable living here anymore, so we would like to know what we can do to break our lease, should she return our deposit, and if she is obligated to help pay for our damaged furniture.

We have successfully represented plaintiffs in bed bug actions and we would be happy to speak with you.
