Working the Bugs Out: Bed Bug Control -- What Landlords and Tenants in Multi-Family Housing Need to Know in Arizona

By:

In 2011 Arizona joined several other states enacting bed bug related legislation. The new legislation (SB 1306) assigns specific responsibilities to landlords and tenants in multi-family housing. This law does not apply to a single family residence. Under Arizona law, landlords are required to provide existing and new tenants with educational materials on bed bugs. Additionally, landlords are prohibited from knowingly leasing a bed bug infested residence. The legislation requires tenants to notify the landlord of a bed bug infestation and disallows them from knowingly moving bed bug infested materials into a residence.
