Just cause eviction rules in Lodi, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Lodi has no local just-cause eviction ordinance. Most non-exempt residential rentals are subject to California's statewide just-cause eviction rules under Civil Code §1946.2, which require an at-fault or no-fault just cause to terminate tenancies after one year of occupancy.
Civil Code §1946.2 (AB 1482) requires a landlord to state a just cause for termination of a tenancy after the tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied the unit for 12 months. At-fault causes include nonpayment of rent, lease breach, nuisance, criminal activity, and refusal to renew similar lease terms. No-fault causes include owner or family move-in, withdrawal from the rental market (Ellis Act-style), demolition or substantial remodel, and government order. No-fault evictions require either a one-month rent relocation payment or rent waiver. Exemptions mirror the rent-cap exemptions (SFH owned by individuals with proper notice, new construction under 15 years, owner-occupied duplexes). Lodi has not adopted stricter local just-cause rules.
Evictions in violation of §1946.2 may be defended in unlawful-detainer court and can support claims for damages and attorney's fees.
