Seems like a Herpyllus propinquus.(Western Parson Spider) Possible reason it's there is because of roach and bedbug issues left from previous tenants. Roaches and bedbugs dealt with and spider too, however in december on new years eve I was bit multiple times during sleep, Might be because another spider of the same type has either ran out of food options or from it being trapped between my bed and skin. The bites are ran across my arm and are pure white in color, they are similar to mosquito bites however I might be wrong about the bites.
