Just cause eviction rules in Vineyard, CA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Vineyard rentals are subject to California AB 1482's just-cause eviction protections for buildings 15+ years old and tenancies of 12+ months. Landlords must state one of 14 enumerated just causes and may owe relocation assistance for no-fault evictions.
California Civil Code §1946.2 (added by AB 1482) requires just cause for terminating residential tenancies of 12+ months in buildings 15+ years old. At-fault just causes (non-payment of rent, breach, nuisance, etc.) do not require relocation assistance. No-fault causes (owner move-in, withdrawal from rental market, substantial remodel, government order) require either one month's rent in relocation assistance OR rent waiver. Sacramento County has not enacted local just-cause enhancements beyond AB 1482.
Wrongful eviction: tenant civil suit with treble damages plus attorney fees under Civ Code §1946.2(h). Failure to pay relocation assistance: defense to unlawful detainer.
