Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
Bed Bugs
My mom leaves in a condo in Malden, MA. She moved in in May of 2007 and since August she's been have problems with bed bugs and the condo manager had an exterminator come in for a few times but it doesn't get better so my mom keep telling them that it is not working and now she wants to move out but she has a one year lease with them.
Can she give them like 2 weeks to solve the problem or she will move out and have no complications regarding the lease?

Re: Bed Bugs
She needs to have the health department come and inspect and then file a complaint to terminate the lease for the reason they have failed to fix the problem.
There are a few other options as well, if your mother wishes to call me to discuss same I will be happy to do so.
