Bedbugs
Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish color.
Bedbugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime.

Bedbug Treatments
Clean bedding, linens, curtains, and clothing in hot water and dry them on the highest dryer setting. ...
Use a stiff brush to scrub mattress seams to remove bedbugs and their eggs before vacuuming.
Vacuum your bed and surrounding area frequently.

Peppermint or spearmint oils, Garlic, cloves are some of important repellent that you can use. Install repellent bulbs around your home to repel bugs including spiders. Bay leaves, cucumber slices or garlic are some of important cockroaches repellent.

Pests tend to move to a place where they can survive and their needs are met. If your home is occupied by cockroaches leave bay leaves, cucumber slices or garlic in affected area as prevention. Caulking crack in doors and windows help to minimize the shelter of pests in your home. Following is link for pest control in your home or apartment.

In my knowledge in a rented situation, you are responsible for fumigation of pests. But still I would advice go through your rental agreement once and see if any clause on insects and pests have been given. Ask other tenants also to fumigate their place as the pests once fumigated from one place gets to another place. There is no permanent solution to it and they keep coming back. Inquire about the clause with your owners' association or facility management about it.
