http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2334963/Maryland-wom an-awarded-800k-suing-landlord-bedbug-infestation-caused-los e-practically-everything.html A Maryland landlord was ordered to pay a former tenant $800,000 after the tenant filed a lawsuit claiming the landlord failed to address a bedbug infestation that caused her to lose 'practically everything.' The ruling is one of the largest - if not the largest - amounts awarded in this sort of lawsuit, according to housing law experts. According to the lawsuit, plaintiff Faika Shaaban, 69, suffered hundreds of bites and lesions as a result of the infestation, which she claims the landlord knew about in the summer of 2011, prior to Shaaban's moving into the apartment. |
