and any other occupant(s) in possession of the premises located at:

The Tenant Protection Act of 2019, aka AB 1482, (“TPA”) The TPA (i) imposed limits on the amount a property owner can increase rent to a residential tenant (“Rent Cap”) and (ii) identified a limited number of reasons that a property owner may terminate a tenancy and evict a tenant (“Just Cause”). For more information, see the IMPORTANT NOTES below.

Local rent control and eviction laws. Many cities and counties have adopted local ordinances which impose rent control and just cause eviction requirements. These laws may conflict with, preempt or be preempted by the TPA, in whole or in part. If property owner is uncertain whether the property or tenancy is exempt from the TPA or subject to a local ordinance governing rent increases and just cause requirements, property owner is advised to seek legal counsel from a qualified California real estate attorney who is familiar with the TPA and the laws where the property is located prior to servicing this notice.
