Just cause eviction rules in Ojai, CA β sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances β list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) provides just cause eviction protections for most renters in unincorporated Ventura County who have lived in a unit for 12+ months. Landlords may only evict for specific reasons defined in the statute.
AB 1482 (effective January 1, 2020) applies to most residential units in unincorporated Ventura County. After 12 months of tenancy, landlords need just cause to evict: non-payment, lease violations, nuisance, criminal activity, owner/family move-in, substantial renovation, or withdrawal from rental market (Ellis Act). No-fault evictions require relocation assistance. Single-family homes owned by natural persons (not corporate entities) may be exempt with proper notice. The county's mobile home park rent control (Division 8, Chapter 10) provides separate protections for mobile home residents.
Wrongful eviction allows tenants to sue for damages, attorney fees, and reinstatement. Failure to provide relocation assistance for no-fault evictions creates additional liability. Contact Ventura County Legal Aid for tenant assistance.
