4. RACOONS AND OTHER WILDLIFE Because much of the residential area in Monterey County is
heavily forested, wildlife is abundant, even in the cities. Certain areas of Monterey County have
experienced occasional intrusions of non-domesticated animals. Raccoons and other wildlife in the
area have been known to destroy property and to cause serious disease and even death of
residents and their pets. Never feed or try to capture a raccoon or other wild animal. If you have
domestic pets at your home, do not leave food outside, to avoid attracting wild animals to your
property. Keep the lids on your trash bins tightly closed. If you need help dealing with any wildlife,
please call the SPCA of Monterey County at 831 373 2631 or an animal control professional.

5. BED BUG DISCLOSURE (INFORMATION ABOUT BED BUGS)

Bed Bug Appearance: Bed bugs have six legs. Adult bed bugs have flat bodies about ¼ 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 1/16th 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.

Residents’ Initials _____ _____ Landlord/Agent’s Initials _____

 Life Cycle and Reproduction: An average bed bug lives for about 10 months. Female bed bugs lay one to
five eggs per da. 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.
For more information, see the Internet Web sites of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
the national Pest Management Association.
Tenant shall report suspected infestations by bed bugs to the Landlord or property Manager at the mailing
or email address, or phone number provided in the Agreement and cooperate with any inspection for and
treatment of bed bugs.
Landlord will notify tenants of any units inspected by a pest control operator of the findings by such an
operator within 2 business days of the receipt of the findings. All Tenants will be notified of confirmed
infestations within common areas.

6. MOLD Residents are hereby notified that mold can grow if the Premises are not properly
maintained or ventilated and that if moisture is allowed to accumulate, it can cause mildew and
mold to grow. Residents agree to maintain the Premises in a manner that prevents the occurrence
of an infestation of mold or mildew in the premises by doing the following: regularly allowing air to
circulate in the Premises; keeping the interior of the Premises free of dirt and debris that can
harbor mold; repairing or causing to be repaired any water intrusion, such as plumbing leaks, drips,

while showering and keeping fans in good repair; using exhaust fans when cooking, dishwashing, or

14. WATER CONSERVATION: Monterey County has a long term water supply problem. In the Salinas
Valley, more water is being pumped out of the ground water than nature and the County’s
reservoirs can replace; and on the Monterey Peninsula, water storage is limited and there are
restrictions and the amount of water available. Water conservation is a way of life for those who
live and work in the Monterey County. Water utilities and mutual water companies may
periodically impose mandatory or voluntary cutbacks and/or increased fees, restrictions or
moratoriums on water use. Residents are advised to contact the water company serving the subject
property, any appropriate governing water or planning agency, and/or the Environmental Health
Department for more information concerning the nature and extent of any current or anticipated
water policies which may have an effect on the Residents’ general use and enjoyment of the
property. Questions may be directed to your local water conservations coordinator: Monterey
