LEGALLY, its against all kinds of laws for landlords to retaliate against you for calling health departments about the conditions you describe, especially if critters are found. However, if you are making a lot of calls, say 2-3 a month over a years time, and no critters are ever found, management could decide to not renew your lease at the end of its term, and you would have to move out. Work with the health dept. Can you show them any "droppings" or a chewed-on food package? Maybe they can provide you with some traps to catch them (either dead or alive) which would prove the critters are there.
