Summary

Existing law governs the hiring of residential dwelling units and establishes provisions for the renewal or termination of a hiring of residential real property for an unspecified term. Existing law requires that an owner of a residential dwelling generally give at least 60 days' notice prior to termination or, in the case of a tenant or resident that has resided in the dwelling for less than one year or if certain other conditions apply, 30 days' notice prior to termination. Existing law provides that a tenant of real property is guilty of unlawful detainer in certain circumstances, including that the tenant continues in possession of the property after the expiration of the term for which it is let to him or her, as provided. This bill would prohibit a landlord from terminating a tenancy, or seeking to recover possession from a tenant who continues in possession of property after the expiration of the term for which it is let, as described above, except for cause, as set forth with particularity in the notice. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to encourage or incentivize cities to enact just cause eviction ordinances in order to prevent unnecessary displacement of tenants. The bill would state that its provisions are in addition to, and do not supersede or preempt, any other state or local law regulating the grounds for eviction or the termination of a tenancy.
