Understanding Bed Bug Infestations in Rental Properties
Bed bugs are small, blood-sucking insects that can infest your living space, particularly in areas where people sleep, such as beds, couches, and furniture. These pests can cause physical and emotional distress, including itchy bites, allergic reactions, and anxiety. Bed bugs are often a result of poor maintenance and inadequate sanitation in rental properties.
Under California law, landlords are responsible for providing a habitable living environment, which includes ensuring that properties are free from infestations. If you’re experiencing a bed bug infestation, it’s important to understand your rights as a tenant and take action to resolve the issue.
How to Protect Yourself and Enforce Your Rights
As a tenant, you have the right to live in a property free of bed bug infestations. If you discover bed bugs in your home, you must immediately notify your landlord, who is then legally obligated to address the problem.
Landlords are responsible for the costs of extermination and any necessary repairs. If they fail to take prompt action, tenants can seek legal remedies, including withholding rent or taking legal action for breach of the implied warranty of habitability. It’s crucial to document the infestation, including photos of bites or the pests themselves, and keep a record of all communications with your landlord. A lawyer experienced in habitability law can help ensure your rights are protected.

Holding Landlords Accountable for Bed Bug Infestations
If a landlord fails to take appropriate action to address a bed bug infestation, tenants can take legal action to recover damages. This includes seeking compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial toll the infestation has caused. Tenants may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, lost wages due to illness, and the cost of replacing damaged property.
Legal action can also involve negotiating repairs or relocation costs. A lawyer can help tenants navigate the legal process and ensure that their claims are addressed promptly and effectively, holding negligent landlords accountable for providing unsafe living conditions.
