Redlands, CA Rental Property Rules: Just Cause Eviction (2026)

13). 030 requires that before an owner issues a termination notice for this kind of no-fault eviction, the owner must already hold all necessary government permits for the remodel or demolition, and the termination notice itself must include a copy of those permits, which must be current, unexpired and unrevoked. The notice must also spell out the scope of work, why it cannot be done safely with the tenant in place, and why the tenant must vacate for at least 30 days. 020 defines "substantially remodel" narrowly: it must require a permit for structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical work, or hazardous-material abatement, that cannot be done safely with the tenant present and forces a vacancy of at least 30 days; cosmetic work like painting or minor repairs does not qualify.

2(b)(2)(D): the owner must provide either a rent waiver equal to two months of the tenant's rent, or a direct payment of $4,500, whichever is greater, split into two installments, two-thirds within 15 calendar days of the termination notice and the remaining third when the tenant actually vacates. 060 applies the chapter to notices issued after its effective date where the tenant is still in possession and the statutory notice period had not yet expired.
