Los Angeles Eviction Lawyer Blog

In California, a landlord may evict a tenant if the tenant does any of the following:

1.  Falls behind in their rent;

2. Breaks the lease or rental agreement and will not fix the problem;

3. Commit waste and damages the property bringing down the value of the property;

4. Disturbs other tenants and neighbors often and will not stop when ask thereby becomming a serious nuisance; and

5.  Uses the property to commit illegal activities.

In most cities, the landlord can also evict if:

1. The tenant stays after the lease is up; and

2. If the landlord cancels the rental agreement.

However if your city has rental control then these last two reasons will not be adequate.  Its best to find out if your property is rent controlled or not.
