Re: eviction

If the request was for no reason, then the landlord has to give you 60 days' notice, pursuant to Civil Code section 1946.1, assuming it's an apartment building. There are some exceptions, including the purchase of the building. However, that does not seem to be the case.

It appears that the landlord hopes to get higher rent from a new tenant. You might want to speak with a tenants' lawyer in your area about your rights.
