AB 1482 limits Fresno no-fault evictions to specific reasons including owner move-in, substantial remodel, withdrawal from rental market, or government order. Landlords must give written notice and pay one month's relocation assistance.
California's just-cause statute under AB 1482 distinguishes at-fault evictions, such as nonpayment, from no-fault evictions where the tenant has done nothing wrong. For covered Fresno tenancies, allowable no-fault grounds are limited to bona-fide owner or family-member move-in, substantial remodel requiring vacancy, withdrawal of the unit from the rental market under the Ellis Act framework, or compliance with a government order. Landlords must provide written notice stating the basis and either pay direct relocation assistance equal to one month's rent or waive the final month's rent. Misuse of no-fault grounds, such as failing to actually move in, exposes landlords to statutory penalties.
Asserting a no-fault ground in bad faith or omitting required relocation assistance subjects Fresno landlords to civil liability, dismissal of unlawful-detainer actions, and statutory damages plus attorney's fees.
