California Civil Code 1954.603 requires landlords to provide bed bug disclosures to tenants, and Riverside County Environmental Health responds to complaints involving habitability and licensed pest control treatments.
California Civil Code sections 1954.600-1954.605 require all landlords to give tenants a written bed bug information notice at lease signing, prohibit retaliation for reporting infestations, and require landlords to investigate and abate using licensed pest control. Riverside County does not impose stricter rules but enforces habitability under Health and Safety Code 17920.3 if treatment is refused. Tenants should report failures to the city building department or, in unincorporated areas, Riverside County Code Enforcement. Treatment typically combines heat, vacuuming, and approved pesticides applied by licensed operators.
Failure to disclose, retaliation, or refusal to abate: code citations, civil suits, and habitability defenses to unlawful detainer actions.
