Under AB 1482, Riverside County landlords removing covered tenants for no-fault reasons such as owner move-in, withdrawal from the rental market, or substantial remodel must provide one month of rent as relocation assistance or waive the final month of rent.
California Civil Code 1946.2(d) lists the only valid no-fault grounds for ending a covered tenancy: owner or family-member move-in, withdrawal from the rental market under the Ellis Act, government-ordered closure, or a substantial remodel that requires the unit to be vacant for at least thirty days. The landlord must serve a written notice citing the specific reason and either pay one month of the tenant's current rent within fifteen days of the notice or waive the final month of rent in writing. Riverside County itself does not impose additional local relocation amounts in unincorporated areas, but cities like Palm Springs do.
Failure to pay relocation assistance voids the eviction notice and can trigger statutory damages of three times the rent plus attorney's fees.
