In many rental housing units located in unincorporated Alameda County, state and local regulations define the “just causes” required to terminate a tenancy (commonly referred to as eviction). Housing providers must have a lawful reason for ending a tenancy, and it must align with the terms of the lease agreement. Common just causes include failure to pay rent, lease violations, creating a nuisance, or the property owner’s intent to move in. To lawfully terminate a tenancy, the housing provider must follow specific legal procedures, which may include issuing written notice, filing an unlawful-detainer lawsuit, and/or obtaining a court-ordered eviction.
