Can I Sue for Bed Bugs in My Apartment in California?

Yes. Tenants have rights when it comes to bed bugs and uninhabitable conditions. 

Several California laws protect tenants from uninhabitable conditions and retaliatory evictions. 

You may be able to sue your landlord for bed bugs in your Glendale apartment if they:

  • Rented a unit they knew was infested with bed bugs. This is a violation of CIV 1954.602
  • Failed to investigate complaints of bed bugs.
  • Failed to inform tenants of the results of an inspection. This is a violation of CIV 1942.5
  • Did not give information regarding bed bugs, how to identify them, and what to do if you suspect an infestation. This is a violation of CIV 1954.603.

Some people don’t complain about bed bugs because they are afraid that their landlords will evict them. This is illegal. CIV 1942.5 prohibits landlords from increasing rent, decreasing services, or evicting tenants within 180 days of complaining about bed bugs. If you believe your landlord retaliated against you for complaining about the conditions of your apartment or rental home, we can help you fight back.

What If My Landlord Claims I Brought the Bed Bugs In?

Your landlord may allege that there weren’t bed bugs until you moved in. We can work with experts to determine how long the infestation has been there, using pest control results, reports, and complaints.

Can I Sue for Bed Bugs in My Hotel Room in California?

Yes. You could sue a hotel for bed bugs if you can establish that the hotel knew or should have known about the bed bugs in your room. Demonstrating that the hotel knew about the infestation can help you establish that it failed to ensure its premises were safe and habitable.

We may be able to use reviews or other complaints to establish that the hotel knew about its infestation and failed to take care of it.

Bed Bug FAQs

  1. Confirm the infestation: Look for small reddish-brown bugs, tiny white eggs, and dark spots on bedding, mattress seams, furniture, or walls.
  2. Document everything: Take dated photos and videos of bites, bugs, blood stains,  and damage for evidence.
  3. Notify your landlord or property manager immediately: Put it in writing and keep a copy.
  4. Avoid moving items around: This prevents spreading bed bugs to other rooms or locations.
  5. Seek medical attention: Get treatment for bites, allergic reactions, or infections.
  6. Request prompt professional extermination: Landlords and hotels have a legal duty to act.
  7. Keep all receipts and records: Track expenses for cleaning, replacement, and medical care.
  8. Consult a bed bug attorney: A lawyer can protect your rights and help you pursue compensation.

If you’ve suffered from a bed bug infestation in Glendale, you may be entitled to recover compensation for the harm you’ve endured. Common recoverable damages include:

  • Medical expenses: Treatment for bites, allergic reactions, skin infections, or other related health issues
  • Property damage: The cost of cleaning, repairing, or replacing infested furniture, clothing, bedding, and personal items
  • Relocation costs: Hotel stays, moving expenses, or rental fees if you must temporarily or permanently leave the infested property
  • Lost wages: Income lost due to missing work for medical appointments, recovery, or relocation
  • Pain and suffering: Physical discomfort, itching, and related physical distress caused by the infestation
  • Emotional distress: Anxiety, embarrassment, sleeplessness, and reduced quality of life resulting from the experience

An experienced bed bug lawyer at KJT Law Group can evaluate your case, calculate your damages, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Per CIV § 1941.1, a dwelling may be uninhabitable if it lacks things like waterproofing, plumbing in working order, working heat, electricity, or clean and sanitary buildings. The statute goes on to explain that “clean and sanitary buildings” should be free of trash, debris, rodents, or vermin, such as bed bugs. If your landlord rents you a unit with bed bugs or fails to take care of an infestation, your apartment may be deemed uninhabitable.

According to a 2024 study by PestGnome, Glendale was 49th out of 500 cities for bed bug infestations across the nation. Bed bugs can easily become a nuisance. They can survive for months without feeding and are very hard to see. Because they typically come out at night to feed on humans, they often go unnoticed, especially if the tenants don’t realize they’ve been bitten.

Most people don’t realize they have bed bugs until they have grown into adults, which is about 21 days. While that might not seem like a long time, a female bed bug can lay five eggs a day, which means you might have an infestation before you see the first bed bug. They can also easily move from room to room, which means your entire apartment or rental home could be infested before you know it.
