SHARE:

If you have a renter who needs to be evicted, you might not be able to file for one before 2020. After California’s state-wide rent control and “just cause” eviction law passed, many cities and counties have been rushing within the last few months to enact temporary eviction ordinances to prevent rental property owners from terminating tenancies before the new law goes into effect on January 1, 2020.

Please check your city and county news to see if your rental properties are affected by a temporary eviction ordinance before filing for eviction before January 1st and consult your lawyer. As this month flies by with the holidays, it might be a good idea to prep for a January eviction than risk performing an illegal eviction while a temporary ordinance is in effect. Stay tuned for our legislative update!
