Re: Bed Bug Infestation at {Your Address}
Dear {Landlord Name},
This letter is to demand that you take appropriate action to remove and prevent the re-occurrence of bed bugs at your building, as well as compensate me for any damage caused by or related to this infestation. I believe that you breached your duty of care under the implied warranty of habitability in our lease agreement. The facts are set out below:
- On {date}, I discovered a bed bug infestation in my apartment at {Your Address}. Upon discovery, I notified you immediately via email and phone call. You did not respond until {date} after repeated attempts from myself. In addition, when we spoke on the phone on {date}, you indicated that there was no record of our communication and did not appear interested in resolving this issue quickly or appropriately. Your failure to act promptly and properly upon notification violates my rights under both state law (RCW 59.18) and federal law (The Residential Infestation Prevention Act).
This letter is to inform you that we have a bed bug infestation in our ____ unit. The following is a list of legal issues that we would like to address in this letter.
You should know that we have a bed bug infestation in our ____ unit. The following is a list of legal issues that we would like to address in this letter.
Bed bugs are small insects that feed on the blood of people and animals. Bed bugs can be found anywhere humans live or travel, but infestations are more common in areas with high turnover of people, such as hotels and apartments. Bed bug bites often look like mosquito bites because they bleed when scratched or picked at and may appear red since bed bugs inject an irritant into their victims along with their saliva when biting them. The bite itself may cause itchiness for days after it occurs, especially if you scratch it too much! Bed bugs also spread disease by contaminating surfaces where they live with fecal matter and by feeding on blood from humans (and sometimes pets), which could lead to secondary infections or illnesses if left untreated for long periods of time without proper care being given by medical professionals who specialize in treating conditions caused by exposure to harmful bacteria found within the human body; specifically: MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus) strains found within human tissue cells infected by other harmful microorganisms such as E Coli bacteria which cause stomach ulcers when ingested through unprotected ingestion methods such as chewing food off plastic utensils when eating meals prepared outside home environments such as restaurants while traveling abroad during vacations away from work locations because these types cannot afford expensive meals eaten at places offering buffet style options instead due financial constraints limiting amounts spent daily per person per meal consumed during lunch break times outside regular hours worked daily Monday through Friday 8am – 4pm only 14 days paid vacation per year minus holidays not counted toward total amount allowed annually due lack thereof being able

In addition, they will show that they did not increase rents as a result of this issue; nor did they discriminate against you because of it; nor did they try to evict you because of it.
A demand letter can help you get what you need during a bedbug infestation
Bedbugs are a national problem, and they can lead to serious financial damage. A demand letter is used during bedbug infestations to help you get what you need as quickly as possible. You may have to write a demand letter before you can file a lawsuit about the bedbug damage in your home.
If there is any evidence that an individual or company knew about the bedbugs but did not disclose this knowledge to you, it could be considered negligence on their part, which means they would be legally responsible for the damages caused by their failure to inform you of an existing problem. In addition, if someone was aware of having insects living in their home and still rented out space where those insects spread into other homes, that person could face legal consequences from landlords and condo associations who have been affected by them being able to live with them underfoot for so long without anyone knowing anything about it until recently when people started noticing bites all over their bodies after staying at one particular place while traveling abroad during winter break; now everyone knows how serious this issue has become thanks largely due efforts made by local organizations working tirelessly around close proximity areas where infested homes exist!
