Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

asked to move out so relative can move in

We have been renting our house with a month to month agreement since September of 2002, the landlord/owner called us today and said we have to move out by April 1 so a relative can move in. I could understand if they were going to sell the house but our lives are being uprooted and now we have to relocate when we haven't had a chance to save for the cost of moving. Is there any liabilirt on the owner/lanlords behalf to pay relocations costs?

Re: asked to move out so relative can move in

You might check with the rent stabilization board in LA to see if you're covered. If so, it sounds like you might have to be compensated. Also, the landlord has to provide you with written notice if they want you to vacate. So, to short circuit it, perhaps they could sweeten the deal.
