Oakland FAQ

Is owner move-in valid for any unit?

Owner move-in must be in good faith for the owner or close relative as a primary residence, with proper notice and relocation payment. Pretextual move-ins return rights to the displaced tenant.

What is the Ellis Act?

A California statute allowing landlords to exit the rental business by withdrawing all units. It triggers Oakland's strongest tenant protections, including extended notice and large relocation payments under RAP rules.
