Just cause eviction rules in Fillmore, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) applies in Fillmore, requiring just cause for evicting tenants who have lived in a unit for 12+ months. Just cause includes at-fault reasons (nonpayment, breach) and no-fault reasons (owner move-in, demolition) with relocation assistance.
California AB 1482 (Civil Code §1946.2) applies to most rental properties in Fillmore built before 2005 (rolling 15-year exemption). After a tenant has occupied a unit for 12 months, landlords must have just cause to terminate the tenancy. At-fault causes include: nonpayment of rent, material lease violation, nuisance, criminal activity, or refusal to sign a comparable lease renewal. No-fault causes include: owner or family member move-in, withdrawal from rental market (Ellis Act), substantial remodel requiring vacancy, or government order. No-fault evictions require one month's rent relocation assistance (or rent waiver). Single-family homes owned by individuals (not corporations) are exempt if proper notice is given. Fillmore does not have a local just cause eviction ordinance beyond AB 1482.
Evicting a tenant without just cause violates AB 1482. Tenants can defend against unlawful detainer actions and may recover actual damages, attorney fees, and punitive damages for retaliatory evictions.
