Call your leasing agent. You won't be in trouble. Your landlord is responsible for addressing pests in the unit. Don't break your lease, breaking a lease can cancel out your voucher/subsidy. If you can't get ahold of your BHA leasing agent, call the city inspector. They can lean on BHA.

OP, I see your response but can't respond to it. If it's not a vouchered unit through BHA, BHA cannot help you. Read your lease about the responsibilities of the landlord and call the city.

I didn't get my apartment through BHA, I just wasn't sure if they were a possibility to help get my landlord to take action. I live in a big residential building (and have for 2.5 years with no real issues) with many units so I'm just dealing with the management office who quite frankly doesn't give a fuck. And have gotten aggressive about us following up on their lack of action but I'm losing my mind and feel so stuck but don't know how to get out of this place with all these roaches without paying money that I truly don't have. But it can't be legal to just make people live in these conditions and continue paying rent when they haven't fixed the issue. Or am I living in dreamland?
