"The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 and subsequent COVID-related bills afford protections to California tenants from evictions and rent increases unless under 'Just Cause'."
"California landlords can only evict tenants under Just Cause, which is divided into at-fault and no-fault categories, as prescribed under Civil Code Section 1946.2."
"The City of Palo Alto's Ordinance No. 5592, effective September 21, 2023, reduces the lawful occupancy requirement for Just Cause protections from 12 months to 6 months."
"Certain exemptions apply under the Just Cause requirements, though the new 6-month minimum occupation timeframe will be in effect within Palo Alto city limits."
California's Tenant Protection Act and subsequent laws provide tenants with protection from evictions and rent increases without cause. Under these regulations, landlords can only evict tenants for Just Cause, which includes at-fault and no-fault categories as defined by Civil Code Section 1946.2. In Palo Alto, Ordinance No. 5592, effective September 21, 2023, alters the previous state requirement, allowing tenants to receive Just Cause protections after only 6 months of lawful occupancy, with exemptions depending on property type.
