AB 1482 requires one month of relocation assistance for no-fault evictions in Riverside County. Additional relocation may be triggered when a county code enforcement order forces tenants to vacate due to substandard conditions or red-tag actions.
Beyond the AB 1482 baseline, Riverside County's Code Compliance program may require landlords to fund tenant relocation when a property is declared substandard under Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 or red-tagged for unsafe conditions. The Department of Code Enforcement may issue a notice and order requiring habitability repairs and, in serious cases, demanding the landlord pay reasonable moving costs and a temporary housing differential. State law allows tenants to deduct relocation costs from rent or sue for them when the landlord caused the underlying conditions.
Refusing to fund code-ordered relocation can result in civil penalties, receivership proceedings, and reimbursement claims with attorney's fees.
