Can I Sue My Landlord for Cockroaches in My Apartment?

The short answer is yes, you can sue your landlord for cockroaches in your apartment. Landlords have a duty to make sure that your apartment satisfies the implied warranty of habitability. This warranty, which is implied in every lease, requires the landlord to deliver the premises in a condition that is fit for basic human habitation. If your apartment has cockroaches, you can sue your landlord and receive compensation for your inconvenience and injuries.

Cockroaches Carry Debilitating Diseases that Are a Health Hazard to Humans
Cockroaches or “roaches” are a health hazard. Many people think of them as “dirty” or “disgusting” when they are found or seen in an apartment. But cockroaches do not discriminate and can be found in a million- dollar apartment just as easily as in a lower tier apartment.

Cockroaches are not dirty at all, they are opportunists. They will take up residence anywhere that they can get a ready supply of food, water and shelter. In this respect, they are just like ants, or any other insect pest that comes to live in your apartment with you. Some of these illnesses include the following diseases:

• Enterococcus
• Pseudomonas
• Entamoeba histolytica
• coli
• Enterobacteriaceae
• Staphylococcus
• Mycobacterium
• Bacillus

The Landlord Is Responsible for Cleaning and Clearing up Cockroaches in the Apartment
It is the case that the landlord needs to clear up and clean up any cockroaches that find there way into the apartment. When there are cockroaches in an apartment, there are rarely one or two. Needless to say, a few spritzes from a locally bought bug spray is not going to cut it. You will need to have some major interventions performed to rid your apartment of cockroaches, and that is on the landlord to provide.

It is the responsibility of the landlord, property owner, property manager or contracted and assigned maintenance department of that property where you live, to get rid of all of the roaches at the residence. This means that is the landlord has to come back a few times to ensure the job was completed right the first time, then so be it.

This will be the most appropriate call that you can make, and it will definitely be the easiest. We are here to provide you the peace of mind that you need in a case like this.
