Just cause eviction rules in Reedley, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Reedley does not have a local just cause eviction ordinance, but California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) provides statewide just cause eviction protections. After a tenant has occupied a unit for 12 months, landlords may only terminate the tenancy for specified at-fault or no-fault reasons. No-fault evictions require relocation assistance equal to one month's rent.
California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) provides just cause eviction protections that apply in Reedley, which has not adopted its own local eviction protections. The just cause requirement applies to tenants who have continuously and lawfully occupied a rental unit for 12 months or more. For units where all tenants have occupied for less than 12 months but at least one tenant has resided for 24 months or more, the protections also apply. At-fault just causes for eviction include nonpayment of rent, material lease violations after notice to cure, nuisance, criminal activity, refusal to allow lawful owner access, subletting in violation of the lease, refusal to sign a lease renewal on substantially similar terms, and similar grounds. No-fault just causes include owner or family member move-in, withdrawal of the unit from the rental market under the Ellis Act, compliance with a government or court order, and substantial remodeling requiring tenant vacancy. For no-fault evictions, the landlord must provide relocation assistance equal to one month's rent, either as a direct payment or as a rent waiver for the final month. Proper termination notices must cite the specific just cause relied upon. The law applies through January 1, 2030.
Evictions carried out without proper just cause are voidable. Tenants may assert AB 1482 as an affirmative defense in unlawful detainer proceedings. Wrongful eviction may expose landlords to liability for actual damages, statutory penalties, and attorney fees. Failure to pay required relocation assistance for no-fault evictions renders the termination notice void. Tenants may also file complaints with local legal aid organizations or the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
