California Civil Code 1954.603 requires Santa Ana landlords to give every tenant a bed bug information notice and prohibits renting any unit known to have an active infestation.
Santa Ana landlords must provide every new and existing tenant with a state-mandated bed bug information sheet that explains how to recognize bites, how to report a problem, and the prohibition on landlord retaliation. A unit with a known active infestation cannot be rented until treated. After a tenant report, the landlord must arrange a pest control inspection within a reasonable time and notify all affected tenants of treatment results. Tenants must cooperate with inspections and preparation steps. The OC Health Care Agency does not directly treat bed bugs, but code enforcement can intervene if habitability is impaired.
Renting an infested unit, failing to deliver the disclosure notice, retaliating against a tenant who reports bed bugs, or refusing to arrange professional treatment.
