Had an inspection on my apartment recently. l after some welts appeared on our backs and legs. They found no bugs, but some signs of activity. My landlord doesn’t want to do anything about it, and my roommate and I are about to move to a new place next month so we’re figuring out what to clean what to save what to toss etc.

I’ve heard horror stories of them living in phone chargers and books and every nook and cranny. I don’t really know what to do next. I’ve done some googling but am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Also, my landlord is actively holding an open house on our department and we tried to warn people coming and he’s now threatening to sue us for libel. I don’t really know what to be doing next on that front either.

I woke up this morning with welts on my back that were not there before bed. They’re quite itchy and appeared in a row directly down my back. I’ve had enough friends and family experience bed bugs in my life to find that suspicious.

I looked all through my bed and couch and can’t find signs of any bed bugs. I’m wondering if perhaps it was just a weird string of mosquito bites or if there’s something else I can be looking for to see if perhaps it really is bed bugs? I’m supposedly moving in about two weeks and have a string of apartment viewings set up on my current place and I don’t wanna be that person.

Looking for advice on what to do next, or perhaps I’m overreacting?
