Feel free to customize it further. Do you need help with anything else?

In California, landlords must address bed bug infestations promptly. Under California Civil Code Section *.*, if the landlord fails to take action within a reasonable time after receiving notice, tenants may have the right to repair and deduct the cost, withhold rent, or even terminate the lease.
Do you need specific steps on how to proceed if the landlord doesn't act in a reasonable time?

Case Rating: *
In California, a "reasonable time" for a landlord to take action on bed bug infestations typically means within 30 days of receiving notice. However, given the urgency of health risks associated with bed bugs, prompt action is expected.
Would you like more information on what to do if your landlord does not act within this timeframe?

Case Rating: *
If your landlord does not act within 30 days or promptly address the bed bug infestation, you can take the following steps under California law:
- Send a follow-up notice to the landlord.
- Document all communications and the infestation's impact.
- You may have the right to repair and deduct costs, withhold rent, or terminate the lease.
Would you like more detailed steps on any of these options?

Case Rating: *
Sure! Here's a sample follow-up notice based on your landlord not acting within 30 days:
