Sacramento requires landlords to pay relocation assistance equal to roughly two months of rent when terminating a tenancy for no-fault reasons such as owner move-in, withdrawal, or substantial remodel under the Tenant Protection Act.
The Sacramento Tenant Protection & Relief Act (Title 5 Chapter 5.156) requires landlords issuing a no-fault termination, including owner or relative move-in, government-ordered vacancy, withdrawal from the rental market, or substantial remodel, to pay relocation assistance equal to one month of rent or waive the final month, plus an additional month if the household includes seniors, disabled tenants, or minors. Payment must be delivered with the termination notice. The local rule layers atop AB 1482's parallel requirement and applies broadly to covered units, including many properties that are state-exempt but locally covered.
Failing to provide relocation payment with the no-fault notice voids the termination, creates an affirmative defense to eviction, and may expose the landlord to actual damages plus attorney's fees.
