Here is a sample letter you can send to your landlord to notify them of bed bugs in your building.  NOTE:  This notice was drafted for use by Maine tenants.  The laws may be different in other states. Get more important  information about bed bugs here.

Maine tenants can use this form letter to request information from their landlord about where their security deposit is being held. Maine law requires a landlord to hold tenants' security deposits in a separate bank account. The purpose is to put your security deposit outside the reach of the landlord's creditors.  So if your landlord is sued or foreclosed upon or declares bankruptcy, your deposit is safe.
