Relocation assistance for no-fault evictions

Plain language

When a landlord ends a covered tenancy for a 'no-fault' reason (like owner move-in or taking the unit off the market), they must give the tenant relocation help equal to one month's rent — usually a direct payment or a waiver of the final month's rent.

Statute text

Under Civil Code §1946.2(d), for no-fault just-cause terminations of covered units, the landlord must provide relocation assistance equal to one month of the tenant's rent, paid within 15 days of serving the notice, or waive the final month's rent in writing. If the assistance is not provided, the termination notice is void. Some local ordinances require larger relocation payments.
