this big mess began when when I moved into a hotel on a weekly basis.about the second week I started itching,and after a few days with no relief I went to the doctors who determined it was bedbugs. I went back to hotel and asked manager
if bedbugs were ever an issue she denied they were, when I showed her the bite marks she didn't say much or show interest in inspecting room. I returned to room looked around didn't see anything. Two mornings later I awoke to find a bedbug
moving away from me. I squash that one, pull matress away from wall and can see
multiple bugs . I call mgr see shows up with husband and they pretend to be surprised when I show them the bugs.
they gave me black trash to put my clothes into , after that they weren't much help.
so I went to small claims to sue, it was forwarded to district court, I've been to the
pretrial, the judge sent it to a case evaluation.
just before the pretrial I found out through freedom of information act that the daughter of the manager was sent home from school for bedbugs the very week I moved in, the report also says the girl exibited the same symptoms earlier that spring. I have other compelling evidence that I could explain later
I asked for $2500 plus court costs, but my out of pocket expenses aren't that much ,and clothes and items I threw away are valued at about $600.
can I ask for some of the rent back , costs for traveling to the hospital, for laundering my clothes, I 'd like to inflate to amount to arrive at $2500
recently I was told that in district court I can't get money for pain and suffering,
only in circuit court. They say I would need to substantiate the entire $2500
in an itemized tally.
any help would be greatly appreciated in clarifying the Michgan law or help with ideas to beef up the amount that can be recovered. Thanks
