Just cause eviction rules in Ventura, CA β sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances β list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Ventura tenants are protected by California's just cause eviction requirements under AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act) as strengthened by SB 567. Landlords must have a valid reason to evict tenants who have occupied a unit for 12+ months. No-fault evictions require relocation assistance.
California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) requires just cause for evicting tenants who have lived in a covered rental unit for 12 months or more. At-fault causes include nonpayment of rent, lease violations, nuisance, and criminal activity. No-fault causes include owner or family member move-in, substantial remodeling, and withdrawal from the rental market. No-fault evictions require relocation assistance equal to one month's rent. SB 567 (effective April 2024) strengthened these protections by requiring landlords who evict for owner move-in to actually occupy the unit and creating penalties for pretextual evictions. The City of Ventura does not have additional local just cause eviction protections beyond state law.
Landlords who evict without just cause face civil penalties including actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. SB 567 created additional enforcement mechanisms for pretextual evictions.
