## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Residential Tenancies](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Table the move-in date, any added adult and that date, the ground the owner proposes, and any exemption notice already in the lease. Write no sentence of the advice and no sentence of a notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | Civil Code § 1946.2 forbids termination without just cause stated in the written notice once the occupation rule in subdivision (a) is met. At-fault grounds include a breach after an opportunity to cure. No-fault grounds include owner occupancy by a defined owner or relative, withdrawal from the market, certain vacate orders, and demolition or substantial remodel. An owner's failure to comply with the section renders the notice void, and a waiver of the tenant's rights is void. You decide the ground and you write the advice. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Table the move-in date, any added adult and that date, the ground the owner proposes, and any exemption notice already in the lease. Write no sentence of the advice and no sentence of a notice.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Owner-occupancy has its own definition of owner, a 90-day move-in, and 12 months of primary residence. Do not treat a company name on title as enough.
- The Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604, still applies to the decision to end the tenancy. Exemptions in §§ 3603 and 3607 were not opened.
- Open the possession statute of the state that governs. Section 1946.2 is California.
