Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Does tenant have any rights when landlord does not renew lease

Our one year lease on the house we've been renting ends April 1. The landlord has chosen not to renew our lease as she intends to make improvements in order to refinance the property. She also may very well choose to occupy the house when we leave, but that is NOT the reason we were given for her not renewing. Do we have any rights? Are we entitled to any relocation assistance? We were told all of this verbally by the landlord's daughter. If we do not receive written notification, does that open up any doors for recourse?
