Former residents of an apartment building in Hyattsville, Md., say they were forced out of their homes by bed bugs - and they want the ex-building owner to pay them $20 million, NBC4 reported.
A woman told NBC4 that bed bugs forced her 87-year-old mother to sleep in a chair for six weeks.
According to NBC4 , ex-tenants said the building owner during the 2012 infestation, Berkshire Property Advisors (the building has a different owner now), removed furniture, but the apartments were still crawling with bugs.
"Everything was totally infested," said former tenant Deborah McDaniel, who is one of several plaintiffs in a $20 million lawsuit filed in Prince George’s County Court.
She said the sum is a lot to ask, but she thinks the residents deserve it.
