I know this is not a fun topic for people, but I have represented clients who have had bedbugs and it was a nightmare for them. Unfortunately, some buildings in San Francisco have bedbugs.
When moving into a rental in San Francsico, ask your landlord if there is a history of bedbugs. Under the San Franicsco Health Code a landlord is required to disclose the past two years of bedbug history in the rental unit. This law went into effect in December 2012 but not many tenants know about their right to disclosure.
Hopefully this could save someone from getting bedbugs!
