California Civil Code 1954.603 requires landlords to disclose bed bug information and prohibits renting units with known infestations; San Bernardino County enforces habitability complaints.
California AB 551, codified at Civil Code 1954.600 to 1954.605, requires landlords to give tenants a written bed bug information sheet before lease signing and within seven days of any new infestation report. Landlords cannot rent a unit with a known active infestation. In unincorporated San Bernardino County and contract cities, Code Enforcement and Public Health respond to habitability complaints when professional pest control is delayed. Owners must hire a licensed pest control operator, not rely on tenant self-treatment with foggers.
Renting infested units, retaliating against reporting tenants, or failing to provide disclosures can lead to civil penalties and habitability claims in small claims court.
