In California, where pesticide notification is required for multiple-family structures with five units or more, who must receive the chemical disclosure notice?

In California, the requirement for pesticide notification in multiple-family structures with five or more units emphasizes the importance of communication between property owners and tenants regarding pesticide applications. The chemical disclosure notice is specifically meant for the designated agent or owner of the property. This ensures that those responsible for the management and oversight of the building have the necessary information to inform tenants properly about any pesticide use and its implications for health and safety.

By placing the responsibility on the owner or designated agent, it ensures that the message comes from those who are legally accountable for the property. This also allows the owner or agent to relay accurate and timely information to tenants, thus fostering better transparency and trust.

While tenants do need to be informed about pesticide use, the initial obligation to receive the chemical disclosure notice lies with the property owner or their agent. This structure helps create a clear line of communication and accountability regarding pesticide applications in residential settings.
