Re: harrising landloard
If the apartment is bug infested, you should sue your landlord under the "warantee of habitability." Every landlord has a duty to make his rental units safe and sanitary for his tenants.
I would also contact your local mayor's office. They should be able to put you in contact with whatever agency oversees local landlords.
I hope this helps, and good luck.
