    Default Can a Long-Term Tenant be Evicted Without Cause

    A woman in California has been renting a home for twenty-four years. Her landlord has told her that the home is going to be renovated and that the rent will increase substantially, and gave her sixty days notice to move. She is having a hard time finding a new place to live. What rights do they have to remain in the home? This is not a rent controlled city.

    Default Re: Can a Long-Term Tenant be Evicted Without Cause

    They have the right to the sixty day notice. Neither being a good tenant nor a long-term tenant will create any special rights, not provided for by law. The law in general provides an increase from thirty to sixty days notice to quit after a year of tenancy, but state law does not provide additional rights when a landlord decides to end a tenancy.

    If they stay and an eviction action is filed, she may be able to draw out the amount of time she has to vacate -- but she can expect to end up with the eviction on her credit report, and that can make it much harder to find another home to rent.
