California Civil Code §1954.603 requires Fresno landlords to give written bed bug disclosures to tenants, prohibits renting infested units, and obligates pest control. Local enforcement runs through Fresno Code Enforcement and Public Health.
California's statewide bed bug law (Civil Code §§1954.600-1954.605) applies to all Fresno rental housing. Landlords must provide every new tenant a written disclosure covering bed bug appearance, life cycle, and reporting steps. Renting a known-infested unit is illegal. Tenants must allow inspection and report suspected infestations promptly. Landlords who fail to remediate may be cited under FMC Chapter 10 (housing code) and California Civil Code §1941.1 habitability standards. Fresno Code Enforcement and the Multi-Family Inspection Program respond to complaints and can compel professional remediation.
Renting a known-infested unit, failing to disclose, or refusing to remediate may result in code citations, habitability claims, and tenant rent withholding under California Civil Code §1942 self-help repair-and-deduct.
