## 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 | List the ground the draft notice names, whether a permit or a signed abatement contract is in the pack, and whether the draft contains a relocation amount and a date for paying it. Write no sentence of the notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | Civil Code § 1946.2 lists no-fault grounds that include withdrawal from the rental market and intent to demolish or substantially remodel. A remodel notice must include the statement the section sets out, a description of the work, and the permit, or the signed hazardous-material contract where no permit is required. Cosmetic work is not a substantial remodel. No-fault termination requires relocation assistance or a rent waiver equal to one month's rent, with assistance within 15 calendar days of service, and the notice must say so. Failure to comply renders the notice void. A sale is not itself one of the grounds read in the section. You write the notice. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the ground the draft notice names, whether a permit or a signed abatement contract is in the pack, and whether the draft contains a relocation amount and a date for paying it. Write no sentence of the notice.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Substantial remodel means work that cannot safely be done with the tenant in place and that requires at least 30 consecutive days away. The tool does not apply that test.
- If the tenant is at fault for a habitability order, relocation assistance under that ground can be refused. That finding is yours.
- Rent-cap exemptions and just-cause exemptions use a stated written notice. Check § 1947.12 before treating a property as exempt.
