Just cause eviction rules in Rancho Cordova, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Rancho Cordova rental housing is covered by California Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482), which requires just cause to terminate tenancies after 12 months of occupancy and caps annual rent increases. The city has not adopted a local rent control or stricter just-cause ordinance.
California AB 1482 (Civil Code Sections 1946.2 and 1947.12) applies to most rental units in Rancho Cordova that are more than 15 years old. Landlords must state a just cause reason (at-fault or no-fault) to terminate tenancies after the tenant has occupied the unit 12 or more months. At-fault causes include nonpayment of rent, lease violations, and nuisance. No-fault causes include owner move-in, withdrawal from rental market, compliance with government order, and intent to demolish or substantially remodel. No-fault terminations require one month of relocation assistance equal to one month of rent or a rent waiver. Rent increases are capped at 5 percent plus regional CPI, not to exceed 10 percent in any 12-month period. Single-family homes and condos owned by individuals (not corporations or REITs) are exempt if proper notice is given. Rancho Cordova has not enacted a local rent control ordinance beyond AB 1482.
Wrongful eviction or improper rent increase may result in tenant civil action for actual damages, up to three times damages if willful, and attorney fees under Civil Code 1946.2(h).
