Santa Clara County imposes no countywide buyout disclosure rule. Cash-for-keys agreements in unincorporated areas follow only baseline California contract and Civil Code rules, unlike San Jose and Mountain View, which require formal disclosures.
Voluntary buyout agreements in unincorporated Santa Clara County are not governed by a county-specific disclosure ordinance. Standard California contract law applies: the agreement must reflect mutual assent, lawful consideration, and a written instrument when waiving claims under tenancy statutes. State unfair-practice law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17200, gives tenants a remedy where a buyout is procured by deception. By contrast, San Jose's Tenant Protection Ordinance §17.23.1235 and Mountain View's CSFRA require written disclosure, a 30-day rescission period, and city filing. Tenants in unincorporated areas should still demand written terms, consult counsel, and verify any AB-1482 relocation rights before signing.
A buyout induced by deception or coercion may be rescinded under Cal. Civ. Code §1689 or challenged under Bus. & Prof. Code §17200 with restitution of any vacated possession or paid funds.
