Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Eviction
My client recieved a 30 day eviction notice from the manager of her apartments. Do they have to give her a legitimate reason for such an eviction or can they evict her for any reason? She is disabled and living on a very small income, needless to say it will cost her a lot to move.
Thanx in advance.

Re: Eviction
You are welcome.
If the lease is up, or it is a month-to-month lease, there need not be a reason (unless she has lived there for over a year...then 60 days notice). I think you mistake a 30 day notice to move with an eviction, which is only after an unlawful detainer.
Unfortunately, the fact of her being disabled, or living on a small income, does not enter into this. If the situation were reversed, the landlord could not force her to stay if she wished to move.
