BEDBUG ADDENDUM
Bedbugs have become a widespread problem nationwide. One reason for the
pervasiveness of bedbugs is because it is easily transferrable and oftentimes done so
unknowingly. Bedbugs may be transferred by placing used furniture in the Premises and
through travel luggage as well as from hotel beds and linens. The presence of bedbugs
may be related to personal cleanliness and housekeeping.
1. Prevention
Personal furnishings or belongings that are known or should reasonably be known to be
infested with bed bugs, should not be brought into the Premises.
2. Prompt Reporting
If you believe that bed bugs are present, please notify CCH as soon as possible as
even a few bed bugs can multiply rapidly and spread from one unit to another. Please
describe any signs of infestation so that CCH may promptly address the situation.
Bed Bug Appearance:
Bed bugs have six legs. Adult bed bugs have flat bodies about 1/4 of an inch in length.
Their color can vary from red and brown to copper colored. Young bed bugs are very
small. Their bodies are about 1/16 of an inch in length. They have almost no color.
When a bed bug feeds, its body swells, may lengthen, and becomes bright red,
sometimes making it appear to be a different insect. Bed bugs do not fly. They can
either crawl or be carried from place to place on objects, people, or animals. Bed bugs
can be hard to find and identify because they are tiny and try to stay hidden.
Life Cycle and Reproduction:
An average bed bug lives for about 10 months. Female bed bugs lay one to five eggs
per day. Bed bugs grow to full adulthood in about 21 days.
Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding.
Bed Bug Bites:
Because bed bugs usually feed at night, most people are bitten in their sleep and do not
realize they were bitten. A person’s reaction to insect bites is an immune response and
so varies from person to person. Sometimes the red welts caused by the bites will not
be noticed until many days after a person was bitten, if at all.
Common Signs and Symptoms of a Possible Bed Bug Infestation:
• Small red to reddish brown fecal spots on mattresses, box springs, bed frames,
mattresses, linens, upholstery, or walls.
• Molted bed bug skins, white, sticky eggs, or empty eggshells.
• Very heavily infested areas may have a characteristically sweet odor.
• Red, itchy bite marks, especially on the legs, arms, and other body parts exposed
while sleeping. However, some people do not show bed bug lesions on their bodies
even though bed bugs may have fed on them.

Protection Agency https://www.epa.gov/bedbugs and the National Pest Management
Association. https://npmapestworld.org/
3. Cooperation with Pest Control
Sublessee and occupants shall cooperate with all inspections for the identification and
treatment of bed bugs. Sublessee and occupants shall cooperate and allow entry to
inspect the Premises so that the pest control operator may inspect and treat any unit
selected by the pest control operator until bed bugs have been eliminated. Sublessee
and occupants shall provide any information to the pest control operator to facilitate the
detection and treatment of bed bugs.
Prior to treatment, affected units will receive a written notice including the date(s) and
time(s) of treatment, whether and when the occupants are required to be absent from
the unit, the deadline for sublessee/occupant preparation of the unit and a pretreatment
checklist with information provided by the pest control operator.
4. Responsibilities for Prevention
Occupants shall check for hitchhiking bedbugs. After staying in a hotel or another home
or visiting friends, family, theaters or using public transportation, occupants shall inspect
their luggage, clothing, shoes, and personal belongings for signs of bed bugs.
After guests depart, occupants shall thoroughly clean the Premises and inspect
bedding, mattresses and box springs, behind headboards, carpet edges and the
undersides of sofa cushions for signs of bed bugs.
Occupants shall never accept any items that shows signs of bedbugs.
Occupants shall reduce clutter in the Premises to reduce hiding places for bed bugs.
PESTICIDE NOTICE
Pesticides may have been applied to the Premises or Property in the past and the
Property manager/owner may have entered into a contract with a Structural Pest
Control Operator for periodic treatment of the Property. State law requires that you
be given the following information:
CAUTION-PESTICIDES ARE TOXIC CHEMICALS. Structural Pest Control
Companies are registered and regulated by the Structural Pest Control Board, and
apply pesticides which are registered and approved for use by the Department of
Pesticide Regulation and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Registration is granted when the state finds that, based on existing scientific
evidence, there are no appreciable risks if proper use conditions are followed or that
the risks are outweighed by the benefits. The degree of risk depends upon the
degree of exposure, so exposure should be minimized. If within 24 hours following
application you experience symptoms similar to common seasonal illness
comparable to the flu, contact your physician or poison control center

LEAD WARNING INFORMATION
Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips
and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly. Lead exposure is especially
harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing,
lessors must disclose the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards
in the dwelling. Lessees must also receive federally approved pamphlet on lead
poisoning prevention.
EPA’S LEAD-BASED PAINT RENOVATION, REPAIR AND PAINTING RULE: The new
rule requires that contractors and maintenance professionals working in pre-1978
housing, child care facilities, and schools with lead-based paint be certified; that their
employees be trained; and that they follow protective work practice standards. The rule
applies to renovation, repair, or painting activities affecting more than six square feet of
lead-based paint in a room or more than 20 square feet of lead-based paint on the
exterior. Enforcement of the rule begins October 1, 2010. See the EPA website at
www.epa.gov/lead for more information.
1. CCH’S DISCLOSURE

housing other than the following: __________________________________________.
CCH has no reports or records pertaining to lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint
hazards in the housing other than the following, which, previously or as an attachment
to this addendum, have been provided to Sublessee____________________________.
CCH, previously or as an attachment to this addendum, has provided Sublessee with
the pamphlet “Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home” or an equivalent pamphlet
