  • Hey OP, I hope you catch this reply. It seems like most people here didn't see you original post. You need to stay away from that place! The landlord knew it was infested and rented it to you anyway. With that many units it will never not be infested.

    After reading both posts I'd say 90% likely you're clear. I've had an infestation from apartment neighbors before myself. If you have access to a dryer run your clothes through a lot. Even better would be one of those big industrial ones at a laundromat but I understand money is tight.

    You need to call that piece of shit slumlord and say you're not coming back. You need to demand, do not ask, demand any deposit money back for knowingly renting you a unit infested with bedbugs. Threaten small claims court and going to the local news, and follow through if they don't give you your money back.

    In small claims you don't need a lawyer. It is for any civil matter under $5000. You should not have to pay much if anything to take them to small claims court.

    And since this person is such a piece of shit, I would inform the local news about the situation whether they give you your money back or not. Send an email that says the landlord's name, the address of the 50 unit complex, and tell your story. Tell them you fear everyone there is living with bedbugs and you think it could spread to the community. Nail this slumlord to the wall. You can do it!

  • I worked as an exterminator as well, but only for a year. I've dealt with tons of bedbugs and had my own lovely infestation from new neighbors in an apartment building many years ago.

    Your advice is great but I think you should read the original post. OP did not take their air mattress or bedding when they left. They need to stay away! I think they are probably in the clear.

  • I thought about precious metal securities. I wonder if you can buy rare earth securities yet? I'm honestly thinking about getting the physical stuff and hiding it. Insane. I wouldn't have believed I'd be thinking like this half a year ago.

  • I'm about ready to bury some gold. I was laughing at the gold buying people a year ago, then I read that JP Morgan Chase was taking their FIRST planeload of gold ($4 billion) to put in the vault in NYC. Last month this happened. Other banks are doing the same.

  • Good job. For what it's worth you should still take your employer match and invest it all outside North America. Don't leave that free money on the table because the US is headed for a depression.

    I sold the stocks we had for a down payment on a house late last month too. I have avoided $9000 in losses SO FAR. I was talking about this a couple days ago and was essentially told I'm an idiot for trying to time the market instead of riding the dip. Then yesterday early morning before open I was told I got lucky and better buy back in to lock in my winnings. $5000 of those losses would have occurred yesterday if I'd bought back in. I'm not putting money back in the casino until it's under new management.

  • Shit's so silly. Especially with taxes. It's an example of exactly what's wrong with this country.

    As far as graffiti goes, I think we should just let people go at it. The city belongs to the people, let them paint it. If someone scrawls "I floss my teeth with ass hair" across a wall, a better artist will come put something cool over it.
