Your land lord MAY be liable for the beds.

You May also have a Personal Injury suit against your land lord if you were bit by any bedbugs or have any scarring from them.

Also, if the bedbugs persist, it may be grounds to break your lease becuase your dwelling is unlivable.

Consult with an attorney in your area.
