Is this the right form?
California Civil Code § 1954.603 requires a written bed bug notice before a new tenancy is created. This PDF is C.A.R. Form BBD, a California Association of REALTORS® template, rather than a state-issued form. It does not certify that a rental is infestation-free.

Inside the PDF
What this form covers
Bed bug information

Additional agreement terms
The boxed release and indemnity clause is separate from the information notice. The acknowledgment also agrees to those terms.

- The landlord or property manager’s reporting contact details in the underlying agreement. Item 7 refers tenants there instead of providing separate contact blanks.
Step-by-step guidance
How to complete this PDF
Identify the tenancy
Complete the lease reference, address and parties at the top so the disclosure identifies the correct tenancy.
Read the information notice
Read items 1–6: they cover identification, behavior, signs and information resources. The inspected notice text measures 9-point, below the statute’s 10-point minimum. Obtain a correctly formatted notice; browser zoom does not change the PDF’s type size.
Make reporting usable
Check item 7 against the agreement and provide a clear procedure for prompt written reports of suspected infestations. Item 8 describes the landlord’s notification responsibilities after inspection.
Review terms before signing
Review the boxed release and indemnity clause separately from the information notice. The PDF’s acknowledgment also agrees to its terms; it provides dates and two lines each for tenants and landlords.
Before you use it
Checks and separate documents
Separate the notice from contract terms
The boxed release and indemnity language is additional contract language, not part of the statutory bed bug information text. Do not present agreement to that clause as a statutory notice requirement.
Make reporting instructions usable
Give tenants the notice and usable reporting instructions. A completed disclosure does not replace responding to a suspected infestation.
Common questions
Before you use this form
Does browser zoom fix the notice’s text size?
No. Zoom changes display size, not the PDF’s measured 9-point type. Use a notice with text that meets the statutory minimum.
Is the release clause required by the bed bug notice law?
No. It is additional contract language in this association template, not part of the statutory information notice.
