📘 What Landlords Need to Know About AB 1482 (“Statewide Rent Control”)
California’s Tenant Protection Act of 2019, commonly known as AB 1482, affects most residential rental properties statewide — including many in Orange County.
Under Civil Code § 1946.2, AB 1482 imposes:
🔸 Just Cause for Eviction Requirements
Landlords can only evict a tenant after 12 months of occupancy for a “just cause”, which must be either:
- At-fault just cause, such as:
- Nonpayment of rent
- Breach of lease
- Refusing access
- Criminal activity
- No-fault just cause, such as:
- Owner move-in
- Withdrawal of the unit from the rental market (Ellis Act)
- Substantial remodel
- Government order to vacate
➡️ No-fault evictions require the landlord to pay one month of relocation assistance or waive the final month’s rent.
🔸 Which Properties Are Covered?
AB 1482 applies to most properties built more than 15 years ago that are not:
- Single-family homes or condos owned by individuals or trusts (not corporations or LLCs)
- Affordable housing units
- Dormitories or short-term rentals
- New construction (within 15 years)
Even if a property is exempt from AB 1482, landlords must include specific disclosure language in lease agreements or notices to qualify for exemption.
📍 Why This Matters in Orange County
Many Orange County cities — like Irvine and Anaheim — do not have their own local rent control ordinances. That makes AB 1482 the controlling law for most residential evictions.
Filing an unlawful detainer that doesn’t comply with AB 1482 can result in dismissal, attorney fees for the tenant, and delays that cost landlords months of lost rent. We make sure you are in full compliance — and we act fast to protect your interests.
