Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Kansas

I live in Kansas, my landlord allowed a tenant with roaches to move in next door, and they infested my home, and ruined my appliances and electronics. Can I sue my landlord for the damages? I can't afford to replace any of this stuff.

There are few things that cannot be the subject of a law.suit. The question is; Will it be successful? That is dependent upon the facts. If you can prove that the bugs came from the neighbor,you can sue them. If you can prove that the landlord knew about the bugs and didn't take steps to alleviate them, you can sue them too. Of course this is assuming that your lease puts the burden of extermination on the landlord, and you did all your were supposed to. And, that you have proof of the pre bug condition of your stuff, and it was the bugs that caused the damage.

Good luck
