Just cause eviction rules in Folsom, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Folsom rental properties are governed by California's statewide just-cause eviction protections under AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019). Landlords of covered units must state an allowable reason to terminate tenancies after 12 months of occupancy. Folsom has no additional local just-cause ordinance beyond state law.
The California Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482, codified at Civil Code §1946.2 and §1947.12) applies to most Folsom rental housing and requires just cause for eviction of tenants who have continuously occupied a unit for 12+ months. Allowed at-fault reasons include nonpayment of rent, lease breach, nuisance, and criminal activity. No-fault reasons include owner move-in, withdrawal from the rental market (Ellis Act), government order, or substantial remodel, and require relocation assistance equal to one month's rent. Exemptions include single-family homes and condos (if owner is not a REIT/LLC/corp and proper notice is given), duplexes where owner occupies one unit, and housing built within the last 15 years. Folsom Municipal Code does not add a local just-cause ordinance, so state law controls. Evictions proceed through Sacramento County Superior Court unlawful detainer actions.
Wrongful eviction may entitle tenant to actual damages, up to three times damages for willful violations, and attorneys' fees under Civil Code §1946.2(h).
