No, I don’t live in any of these
Excellent. You are covered under Oakland Just Cause protections.
Since you have Oakland Just Cause protections this means your landlord MUST have a Just Cause (there are only 10) for eviction or else the notice is invalid (even if you have a month-to-month lease, or are at the end of a year-long lease). The Just Cause reason must be stated clearly on the notice.
The Just Cause reasons for eviction under the Oakland Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance are:
- You have not paid rent.
- You continue to violate a part of the lease.
- You are doing significant damage to the property.
- You are creating noise or disturbances that bother tenants or residents
- You are using the building for an illegal purpose.
- You are refusing to let the landlord into the apartment as required by law.
- The landlord wants to move back in.
- The landlord wants to live in the unit as a full time resident (or the landlord wants to move in their spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, or grandparent, but not sibling or other relative).
- The landlord uses the Ellis Act, a state law that allows landlords to evict all of a building’s tenants in order to take the building off the rental market.
- The landlord wants to make repairs on the unit that cannot be made with the tenant living there.
