Ontario vs San Bernardino

Can my Ontario landlord evict me without a reason?

Not if you have lived there 12 months or more and the unit is covered by AB 1482. The landlord must state a just cause under Civil Code 1946.2 and, for no-fault reasons, pay relocation assistance equal to one month of rent.

Is my single-family home covered by just cause?

Single-family homes owned by a natural person (not a corporation or REIT) are exempt if the landlord provides the written exemption notice required by Civil Code 1946.2(e)(8). Otherwise just cause applies.

Does San Bernardino have its own just cause ordinance separate from state law?

No. San Bernardino relies on AB 1482 at the state level. The city has not adopted a stricter local just cause ordinance, so the statewide protections of Civil Code 1946.2 apply to covered rentals.

Which rentals are exempt from just cause in San Bernardino?

Single-family homes and condos owned by individuals who serve the statutory exemption notice, duplexes where the owner lives in one unit, and buildings with a certificate of occupancy issued in the last 15 years are generally exempt from AB 1482 just cause.

How much relocation assistance do I get for an owner move-in?

One month of rent, paid within 15 calendar days of the termination notice, or the landlord may waive the final month of rent. This applies to all no-fault terminations under AB 1482.
