You may also evict, for other no fault just cause reasons, according to California law.
- The eviction process can be a difficult process if you are not familiar with the legality of eviction.

Just Cause Provisions
- Beginning on January 1st, 2020, California Civil Code 1946.2 states that after 12 months, a tenancy can only be terminated for a specific set of reasons. Under the statewide law, there are two different types of just cause eviction: At-Fault and No-Fault. Per local City and County rules, certain types of properties are exempt from just cause eviction rules, however, including a just cause reason is always suggested by the court. Eviction laws change consistently, so it is important to include a just cause reason on the notice. Some common At Fault Just Cause Reasons include:
- Tenant not paying rent, tenant not complying with terms of the rental agreement, or tenants causing health and safety issues. Some common No Fault Just Cause Reasons include: Owner or Owner’s Family Member Moving In, Withdrawing from the Rental Market for 12 months, or Owner Intends to Demolish or Substantially Remodel the Premises. The last month’s rent should be waived for most No-Fault Just Cause Reasons, for tenants who have occupied for more than 12 months. It is critical for all notices to have all the required California laws included in the notice and that the notice is served properly, prior to starting the eviction process.
Terminate Tenancy
- Termination of Tenancy can be done many ways, depending on the circumstances. The first step and most critical part of the entire process is preparing and serving the notice accurately. Landlords must be sure to not do anything that will make the notice invalid. Common at fault notices that are served include: 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, 3 Day Notice to Perform a Covenant or Quit, and 3 Day Notice to Quit. Common no fault notices that are served include: 30 Day Notice, 60 Day Notice, 90 Day Notice, or 120 Day Notice. Once the tenants are properly served with the correct notice and the tenants have failed to comply with the notice, once the notice has expired, the landlord can file a lawsuit for an Unlawful Detainer.
- Above all, we always highly recommend that all landlords hire a professional to prepare and serve the notice to vacate. A landlord should never rely on a notice that has not been prepared and served by a professional. It is very important that a landlord understands the negative impact a faulty notice to vacate can have on the entire eviction process. In most cases landlords will have to re-file the entire complaint and must start the entire process all over again.
- Even if a landlord is knowledgeable preparing the required court forms, they may not be up to date with current laws.
- Hiring LDA PRO for Eviction Services, will save you time, money, and heartache!
California State Laws for Just Cause Eviction and Rent Cap.
The Tenant Protection Act of 2019, aka AB 1482. (“TPA”) The COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020 (“CTRA”) requires that residential tenants who are natural persons can only be evicted “for cause” whether the property is covered by or exempt from the TPA. AB 1482, also called the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 Applies statewide rent control to specified properties. The new law affects both rent increases and just cause evictions. The COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020 (“CTRA”) requires that residential tenants who are natural persons can only be evicted “for cause” whether the property is covered by or exempt from the TRA.
Rent Caps
The new law limits the amount that rent can be raised. It states that the rent increase for a 12-month period cannot exceed 5% + percentage change in the cost of living over the previous year’s Consumer Price Index. It also cannot exceed 10% total. Additionally, the landlord is prohibited from increasing the rental rate in more than two increments over a 12-month period. The gross rental rate will not include rent discounts or credits, incentives, or concessions. While gross rental rate is left undefined, it’s advised that all fees charged by the landlord (pet rent, utilities, or month to month fees) be included in the gross rental rate. To calculate the maximum allowable increase over the allowed 5%, refer to Civil Code §1947.12(g)(2) which reads:
“Percentage change in the cost of living” means the percentage change from April 1 of the prior year to April 1 of the current year in the regional Consumer Price Index for the region where the residential real property is located, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. If a regional index is not available, the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for all items, as determined by the Department of Industrial Relations, shall apply.”
