My jurisdiction is: NY
My girlfriend's bedroom became infested by wasps several weeks ago. A wasp nest is in her bedroom wall. Wasps have been getting into the room regularly -- every few hours -- since it began. She informed her landlord, but he has been ineffective in dealing with the problem, insisting on dealing with it himself, and refusing to call an exterminator. She has been unable to live or sleep in her room for nearly a month.
Does her room over this period of time fall under the "uninhabitable" clause of the lease?
Thank you for your help,
--the boyfriend
