Los Angeles Eviction Lawyer Blog

A landlord evicting for the purpose of demolition or removing the unit from the rental market must following the procedures indicated in Ordinance 173,868 (effective 4/5/2001).  The landlord must obtain and file the proper “Landlord Declaration of Intent to Evict” form from the Los Angeles Housing Department and record a Non-Confidential Memorandum with the County Recorder.

Within five days of submitting the completed Landlord Declaration, together with the recorded Non-Confidential Memorandum, the landlord shall give the tenant(s) a 120 day notice and include additional information as required in Ordiance 173,686.  Tenants who are at least 62 years of age or disabled and who have lived in the accommodations for the least one year prior to the landlord’s submission of the Landlord Declaration of Intent to Evict may request an extension of up to one year.
