Hawaii SB456 mandates bed bug infestation procedures for landlords, including inspections and remediation responsibilities.

Hawaii SB456 addresses bed bug infestations by requiring landlords to inspect units for bed bugs before renting and to disclose infestations in adjacent units. Upon notice of an infestation, landlords must inspect the unit, obtain pest control services, and notify affected tenants. The bill defines bed bug infestation and remediation, and specifies that landlords are responsible for remediation costs if notified within certain timeframes. It also prohibits landlords from renting units with known infestations and tenants from bringing infested items into units.
