The City of Oxnard has enacted a rent control and eviction protection ordinance that limits evictions to the reasons specified in the Ordinance. Below is a summary of the eviction control provisions of the Ordinance.
Covered Properties
Subject to the exceptions below, a property is covered if at least one tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied the property for thirty days. Excluded rental units include the following:
Landlord Must Provide Notice of the Existence of the Ordinance
Oxnard tenants must be served with written notice regarding their rights under the Ordinance. The notice must specify the following:
The landlord must serve the notice on the tenant when serving any notice of change in terms of tenancy, and on or before the date the tenant commences their tenancy.
Additionally, the Ordinance requires landlords to post a notice providing information about Ordinance in a conspicuous location on the property.
Just Cause Reasons for Eviction
The Ordinance delineates the just cause reasons to terminate a tenancy, as follows:
General Requirements of a Notice of Termination of Tenancy
All termination notices must include the following information:
Required Contents of Notices to Cure Lease Violations
When terminating a tenancy for a curable lease violation, the landlord’s notice to cease must contain the following:
If the tenant fails to respond or cure the alleged violation, the landlord may then serve an unconditional three-day (3) notice to quite on the tenant.
Relocation Assistance Payment Obligations of Landlord
Landlords must provide relocation assistance for any no-fault evictions. Tenants are entitled to relocation assistance equal to two months rent, or $5,000.00, which ever is greater. The landlord must pay the tenant the relocation assistance within fifteen calendar days of serving the termination of tenancy notice. A landlord’s failure to comply with his or her relocation assistance payment obligations invalidates the termination notice.
