Just Cause Eviction: Port Hueneme vs Ventura

Can my landlord evict me without reason in Port Hueneme?

After 12 months of tenancy, landlords must have just cause to evict under California AB 1482. Both at-fault (nonpayment, breach) and no-fault (owner move-in) reasons qualify, but no-fault evictions require relocation assistance.

How much relocation assistance am I entitled to?

For no-fault evictions under AB 1482, landlords must provide one month's rent as relocation assistance or waive the final month's rent. This is separate from any security deposit return.

Is my single-family rental covered?

Single-family homes may be exempt from AB 1482 if the owner has provided proper written notice. The notice must state that the property is exempt from the rent cap and just cause provisions.

Can my landlord evict me without reason in Ventura?

What qualifies as just cause for eviction?

At-fault causes include nonpayment of rent, lease violations, and nuisance. No-fault causes include owner move-in, substantial remodeling, and withdrawal from the rental market. No-fault requires relocation assistance.

What changed with SB 567?
