The Eviction Process – Just Cause Evictions

The Eviction Process – Just Cause Evictions

Just cause eviction regulations require landlords to have a valid, documented reason to evict a tenant or terminate a lease, rather than being able to evict arbitrarily or for discriminatory reasons. These laws are intended to promote housing stability by limiting what landlords can claim as "just cause" for eviction, which typically includes tenant fault (like nonpayment of rent or lease violations) or "no fault" reasons (like the owner moving into the property or demolishing it). However, these regulations are often filled with tremendous obstacles for any landlord seeking to recover their rental unit under even the most egregious situations. In the state of California, for example, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (Assembly Bill 1482) mandates just cause protections for most covered rental units after a tenant has lived there for 12 month; however, local jurisdictions have rules that are often far more stringent than state law.

Evictions are often emotionally charged situations that can be challenging for both landlords and tenants. When handled incorrectly, landlords may unintentionally make critical mistakes that could delay the eviction process or, worse, lead to legal consequences. During this webinar, we’ll explore some of the common mistakes landlords make during evictions and provide valuable insights on how to avoid these pitfalls to ensure a smoother and legally compliant eviction process.

During this webinar, we will cover:

• Explanation of the “just cause” eviction rules – what they are and when they may be used
• Know the difference between “no fault” vs. “at fault” just cause eviction rules.
• Understand the process, required notices, and timing.
• When is relocation compensation required? How much do you need to pay your tenants?
• Tenant habitability plan requirements, and temporary relocation benefits.
• Is “cash for keys” (a/k/a, tenant buyout agreement) an option for you?
• And, as always, there will be much more! Your Q&A will help to lead the discussion.

This will be a live, interactive, online learning session.  Live Q&A will take place throughout the online seminar.  Please join us for what will surely be an extremely informative and timely presentation.  Please log in to register on our website at www.aagla.org/events.  If you have any questions, please contact Events Manager, Diana Alcaraz, via email at diana@aagla.org.
