The Palo Alto City Council is expected to officially adopt a just-cause eviction ordinance that would greatly expand renter protections in the city far beyond what it now required by state law.
"For a small property owner, it's a burden," says Benjamin Cintz who helps manage two rental properties owned by his family.
Once a tenant is covered by just-cause eviction protections, property owners have two options. First, they can demonstrate that a tenant broke a provision of the lease like not paying the rent or damaging the unit. Second, if a tenant is evicted for what's known as"no fault" like if the property is being renovated, they're entitled to rental assistance and moving expenses.
But a spokesperson for the California Apartment Association says the underlying problem is the lack of affordable housing -- something this new law will not fix.
