Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
bedbug pest control law
Hi,
I am staying in jersey city heights in 2 bedroom apartment for last 9 months.
Recently I apartment was infected with bedbugs.I didnt bring any old funiture nor visited any hotel.
I told my landlord regarding the same but he is asking me to bare the cost of pest control.
I am not the one who brought those bugs then why should i pay for the pest control.
Please give me advice regarding the law for the same.
