Dear Aqulina,
We are very sorry to hear about your current rental situation. Not having hot water for a year and having to suffer with bed bugs, roaches, and rats is extremely hard and you deserve a functional and safe living situation.
Unfortunately, United Policyholders is not specifically designed to assist renters with apartment habitability issues not related to insurance. That said, we can direct you to these resources detailing your rights to a habitable living situation:
Given the seriousness of your situation, you may also want to consider finding an attorney to help you. Depending on where you live in California, you can use this list of pro bono legal services organizations to look for a group in your area that may be able to assist you.
