Bakersfield landlords using a no-fault termination on AB 1482-covered tenancies must state a permitted reason, give 60 days' notice, and pay relocation assistance equal to one month's rent.
Where California's AB 1482 applies, after 12 months of continuous tenancy a landlord may end a tenancy only for either at-fault or no-fault just cause. No-fault grounds include owner or close-relative move-in, withdrawal from the rental market, demolition or substantial remodel, and government order to vacate. The landlord must serve a written 60-day notice citing the specific no-fault reason and either pay one month's rent in direct relocation assistance or waive the final month of rent. Failure to satisfy either prong leaves the eviction defective. Bakersfield has not layered additional local protection on top of AB 1482.
Serving a vague no-fault notice, skipping relocation pay, or moving in a family member who never occupies the unit can void the eviction and expose the landlord to damages and re-rental claims.
