Just cause eviction rules in Corona, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Corona has no local just-cause eviction ordinance, but California AB 1482 (Civil Code Section 1946.2) applies statewide to most rental units, requiring landlords to state a 'just cause' reason for terminating any tenancy after 12 months of occupancy. At-fault and no-fault causes are defined, and no-fault evictions require relocation assistance.
Under California Civil Code Section 1946.2 (part of AB 1482), landlords of covered residential units in Corona may not terminate a tenancy after 12 months of occupancy without 'just cause.' Just cause falls into two categories. At-fault causes include: nonpayment of rent, breach of a material lease term, nuisance behavior, criminal activity on the premises, refusal to allow lawful entry, refusal to sign a substantially similar lease renewal, and certain other tenant behaviors. At-fault evictions typically require a 3-day notice to cure or quit (where curable). No-fault causes include: owner or family member move-in, withdrawal of the unit from the rental market (Ellis Act), demolition or substantial renovation requiring vacancy, and compliance with a government order. No-fault evictions require either one month's rent in direct relocation assistance or a waiver of the final month's rent, paid before tenants vacate. Notice period is 60 days for tenancies of one year or more. Exempt unit types match AB 1482 rent cap exemptions: single-family homes and condos with individual owners and proper exemption notice, new construction under 15 years old, owner-occupied duplexes, and certain affordable and dormitory housing. Tenants improperly evicted can recover damages, costs, and attorney fees.
