California Civil Code §1954.603 requires Orange County landlords to provide bed bug disclosures to tenants, prohibits retaliatory eviction for reporting infestations, and mandates licensed pest treatment when found.
Statewide California law applies in every OC city. Landlords must give all new tenants a written bed bug disclosure before occupancy, and existing tenants received a one-time notice in 2018. If a tenant reports bed bugs, the landlord must inspect within a reasonable time, hire a licensed pest control operator if confirmed, and notify residents of inspection results within two business days for the unit and seven days for surrounding units. OC Health Care Agency does not directly treat bed bugs but receives habitability complaints and refers serious cases to local code enforcement.
Landlord failure to disclose, inspect, or treat may support tenant rent withholding, repair-and-deduct, or civil action under California habitability law.
