Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some detailed information in our Settlement.Org Tenant Rights: Bed Bugs article.
Here is an excerpt,
Who is responsible when a bed bug infestation is discovered in my apartment?
If you have a problem with bed bugs or other insects or pests, you should immediately inform your landlord, your superintendent or property manager, or someone else who is responsible for ensuring homes are pest-free. As a tenant, you are responsible for cooperating with your landlord’s efforts to control bed bugs.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to maintain the rental unit so that is fit for habitation and complies with health standards.
and
What if your landlord fails to take action? legal clinic or from the Landlord and Tenant Board .
If you are interested in filing an application with the LTB, you can contact the Board by telephone at 1-888-332-3234 (416-645-8080 in the Toronto area), or visit its website at www.ltb.gov.on.ca .
