California Civil Code 1954.603 requires Anaheim landlords to give every new tenant a bed bug information notice and prohibits renting any unit known to have an active infestation until professionally treated.
Statewide bed bug law applies fully in Anaheim. Landlords must provide a written bed bug information sheet to every new tenant before move-in and to existing tenants on request. They cannot knowingly offer an infested unit for rent and must hire a licensed pest control operator to treat confirmed infestations. Tenants are required to cooperate with inspection and treatment. Landlords may not retaliate against a tenant who reports bed bugs. OC Health Care Agency does not directly inspect bed bugs in private rentals but assists with hotels and lodging houses.
Renting a unit with known active infestation, retaliating against a reporting tenant, or failing to provide the disclosure exposes the landlord to civil penalties and tenant remedies under Civil Code 1942.5.
