Fresno landlords invoking AB 1482 no-fault eviction must pay the tenant one month's rent in relocation assistance or waive the final month's rent. Payment is due at notice service for displaced households.
Under California Civil Code Section 1946.2, Fresno landlords issuing a no-fault termination on a covered tenancy must compensate the tenant for the disruption of relocation. The default amount is one month of the tenant's most recent rent, paid as a direct cash payment. Alternatively, the landlord may waive the final month's rent by stating so in the termination notice. Payment must be provided when the notice is served, not after move-out. Failure to provide assistance renders the notice defective and bars an unlawful-detainer action. Local Fresno ordinances do not currently impose a higher relocation amount, so the state floor governs.
Serving a no-fault notice without paying or waiving relocation assistance renders the eviction defective, exposes landlords to dismissal and tenant attorney's fees, and may halt any related unlawful-detainer action.
