The Ellis Act is a state law that allows landlords to evict residential tenants in order to go out of the rental business. This right is afforded to rental housing providers even though general public policy is to keep residents housed so long as their tenancy is in good standing.
Just Cause is Required for Eviction (Oakland Municipal Code, Section 8.22. 300) In Oakland, a property owner can only terminate a tenancy or evict a tenant for JUST CAUSE.
If you don't do what your landlord asks, they can start an eviction case to ask the judge to order you to move out. After the landlord gives you the Notice it can take 30-45 days, or longer, for the eviction case to end. If you lose the case, the judge can order you to move out of your home.
