Allowable Reasons for Eviction
The Ordinance lists several just cause reasons for an eviction, which are as follows:
Relocation Assistance Obligation
Subject to certain exceptions, a relocation assistance fee must be paid if the termination of tenancy is based one of the no fault reasons specified in the Ordinance. The landlord must pay a relocation fee equal to two times the amount of the fair market rent as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a rental unit of similar size of that being vacated in Los Angeles County during the year the unit is vacated, plus one thousand dollars.
If a rental unit is occupied by two or more tenants, then each tenant of the unit must be paid a pro-rata share of the relocation fee. The landlord must pay the relocation fee within fifteen days of service of a written notice of termination. The requirement to pay relocation assistance is applicable to all rental units, regardless of whether the rental unit was created or established in violation of any provision of law.
