Just Cause Eviction: Clovis vs Reedley

Does just-cause eviction apply in Clovis?

Only via state AB 1482. Clovis has no additional local ordinance. Separately owned SFRs and condos are exempt if the landlord provides the required written notice.

How much relocation assistance must a Clovis landlord pay for a no-fault eviction?

One month of rent under CA Civ Code §1946.2 for no-fault causes like owner move-in or withdrawal from the rental market. The payment or rent waiver is required before the move-out date.

When does AB 1482 just-cause protection start for a Clovis tenant?

After 12 continuous months of tenancy (or 24 months if additional adult tenants are added). Before then, standard 30/60-day notices apply to covered units.

Can my Reedley landlord evict me without a reason?

If you have lived in the unit for 12 months or more, your landlord must have a just cause to evict you under California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482). Valid reasons include nonpayment of rent, lease violations, nuisance, or no-fault causes like owner move-in. Reedley does not have additional local protections beyond state law.

Do I get relocation money if my Reedley landlord evicts me for a no-fault reason?

Yes. Under AB 1482, landlords must provide relocation assistance equal to one month's rent for no-fault evictions such as owner move-in or withdrawal from the rental market. This can be a direct payment or a waiver of the last month's rent.

Does AB 1482 apply to all Reedley rentals?

No. Exemptions include single-family homes not owned by corporations or certain LLCs (with proper written notice to tenants), housing built within the last 15 years, owner-occupied duplexes, and certain affordable housing units. Most apartment buildings and older rental homes are covered.
