Important Update: Changes to California’s Tenancy Termination Rules Effective April 2024

Governor Newsom recently signed SB 567, introducing significant changes to the tenancy termination rules under the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019. These changes, effective April 1, 2024, are crucial for property owners to understand, as they may have serious implications for managing properties across the state. Here’s what you need to know:

 

Key Changes:

• No-Fault Evictions:
  • Tighter Regulations: Stricter rules on “no-fault” evictions, especially concerning substantial remodels and owner move-ins.
  • Increased Penalties: Non-compliance with these regulations now carries heavier penalties.
• Exemptions:
  • Eligible Properties: Most single-family homes, condominiums, certain owner-occupied duplexes, and newer rental housing.
  • Exemption Notice: Ensure that the necessary exemption notice is properly issued to avoid being subject to these stringent rules.

Specific Areas of Impact:

• Substantial Remodels:
  • Detailed Notices Required: Must include specific language about the work, copies of necessary permits, and information on the tenant’s right to reoccupy the property.
• Owner Move-Ins:
  • Clarified Definitions: New rules define who qualifies as an “owner” with strict residency requirements to be followed.
