Under California Civil Code 1954.603, Oakland landlords must give bed bug information to new tenants, cannot show units with known infestations, and must arrange professional treatment.
California Civil Code sections 1954.600 to 1954.605 set statewide rules that apply in Oakland. Landlords must give every new tenant a written bed bug information notice describing the bug, signs of infestation, and how to report problems. Landlords cannot knowingly show or rent a unit with a current infestation. Tenants must promptly report suspected infestations, and owners must respond by hiring a licensed pest control operator and notifying affected and adjacent residents of inspection and treatment results in a reasonable time.
Failure to disclose, retaliation against reporting tenants, or refusal to treat known infestations can lead to habitability claims, rent reductions, and enforcement action by Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program.
