When a Moorpark landlord ends a covered tenancy under AB 1482's no-fault grounds, the tenant is entitled to relocation assistance equal to one month's rent, paid up front or waived against the final month's rent.
Civil Code §1946.2(d) requires relocation assistance for owner move-in, substantial remodel, government-order, and Ellis Act terminations. The landlord may either pay one month of the contract rent within 15 calendar days of the notice or include in the notice a waiver of the tenant's final month's rent. The notice must clearly state the chosen method. If the eviction ground later fails — for example, the owner does not actually move in — the tenant may sue to recover damages and may also be entitled to return-to-tenancy rights at the prior rent.
Failing to pay or properly waive relocation assistance voids the no-fault notice and gives the tenant a defense in any later unlawful detainer action.
