Under California AB 1482, no-fault evictions in Orange County rental units (owner move-in, withdrawal from market, substantial remodel, government order) require landlords to provide one month's rent in relocation assistance or waive the final month's rent.
Civil Code 1946.2 allows landlords of covered Orange County rentals to terminate tenancies for no-fault reasons, but only with proper notice and statutory relocation assistance. Permitted no-fault grounds include owner or qualifying-relative move-in, withdrawal of the unit from the rental market (Ellis-style), substantial demolition or remodel that requires vacancy, and compliance with a government order. The landlord must provide relocation assistance equal to one month's rent or waive the final month, provide written notice citing the no-fault reason, and follow timing rules. OC has no county-level enhanced relocation; LA and other coastal cities offer larger amounts.
Filing a no-fault eviction without proper notice, omitting relocation assistance, or misrepresenting owner-move-in intent can void the eviction, trigger tenant damages claims, and result in court fee awards.
