Under AB 1482, Stockton landlords can end a tenancy without tenant fault only for specific reasons such as owner move-in, withdrawal from rental, or substantial remodel. No-fault evictions trigger relocation assistance equal to one months rent.
AB 1482 lets covered Stockton landlords end a tenancy for no-fault reasons only in narrow categories. These include the landlord or close relative moving into the unit, withdrawal of the property from the rental market, demolition or substantial remodel that requires the unit to be vacated, and compliance with a government order. The landlord must provide written notice citing the specific no-fault reason. Tenants are entitled to relocation assistance, generally equal to one months rent, paid before the move-out date. False or pretextual no-fault notices can be challenged in court. Landlords using owner move-in must usually occupy within a defined timeframe.
Using a no-fault reason that turns out to be pretextual, or failing to pay required relocation assistance, can void the eviction, expose the landlord to damages, and bar recovery of possession.
