Hello, I'm inquiring about a situation I am currently facing. I am moving into a new apartment ( have to be out of my current by the 28th) and after moving in a few items I noticed little bugs all over my niece. After some research I found that they were fleas. I immediately went to the office and they said they would Bomb the apt. So the next day I wrote an email asking to switch units as I hadn't really moved anything in yet and a flea treatment takes at least ten days which may or may not work (according to my research). That tells me the apt is not habitable. Upon further discussion of this issue with the property manager on duty, she admitted to knowing the unit had fleas and further proceeded to state they only found them 2 days before I moved in. Well right on the bug bomb it says it takes 10 days to treat. So they knowingly rented a unit with a pest infestation. I moved here from Las Vegas and don't have many options as somewhere to stay. I have a dog that I am terrified to bring here. I'm asking to be moved to a unit that is pest free or a different property of theirs as finding apartments in this city hasn't been easy. Please advise. Thank you for your time.
