Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

I have been in my apartment for 2 months now and since I moved in I have been getting bitten by bugs. I took pictures of the bite marks that I have all over my legs and I told my apartment manager. She told me that I need to be able to tell her exactly what kind of bug it is so she knows what service to call and get to my apartment. So I told her it was spiders and I have not heard anything from her. I told her it was spiders via email to the apartment company. I have not heard anything from them and I want out of my lease. I do not believe in paying for trash. Can someone help me in telling me what I need to do?

You could move (without the landlord's permission)but would need to be prepared to be sued, so for your legal defense in such a suit you should muster as much documentation as is possible regarding these spiders and their

bites "all over (your) legs".
