body: We just moved into an apartment in a great (but somewhat expensive) building. Upon move-in we found several dead centipedes on the floor. Following that, we saw several live ones, and a cockroach in the stove.
  
  
  Exterminators came and sprayed, and it seems that while that roach was errant (there were no signs of others having been there, and neighbors haven't seen any), the centipedes remain. I haven't seen a lot of them, but we'll see one crawling on a wall at night occasionally.
  
  
  This isn't a big deal to me, but my wife has a phobia-level aversion to the critters. She can't even kill them with her shoe; she just runs. We talked to the apartment manager about this issue, and she escalated it to the management company. Turns out they'll waive the 6-month apartment transfer requirement, but still make us pay the $500 fee.
  
  
  The only thing in the contract about bugs relates to bedbugs. There is something about transferring to a different apartment in the contract, but it just says "a fee" - no amount is stated.
  
  
  Is my only feasible solution here to pay?
