nope so sorry, tried to change the title but I can't. I just should've put Boston housing, I wasn't aware BHA had specific properties as opposed to being a general housing authority that regulated all housing within Boston. I just did research and I understand my mistake here

If I could afford to move out on my own accord I definitely would because this is making my life horrible and driving gf to the point of needing to go to the hospital with anxiety and being unable to sleep for fear of the bugs. Am I basically screwed? I don't have anywhere to go, can't afford to break my lease, and the management company is as you said sending a guy out but doing fuck all. Do you have any advice?

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?
