Existing law, after a tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied a residential real property for 12 months, prohibits the owner of the residential real property from terminating the tenancy without just cause and requires that just cause to be stated in the written notice to terminate tenancy. Existing law distinguishes between at-fault just cause and no-fault just cause and defines no-fault just cause to mean intent to occupy the residential real property by the owner or the owner's spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents, withdrawal of the residential real property from the rental market, the owner complying with specified government orders that necessitate vacating the real property, and intent to demolish or to substantially remodel the residential real property. Existing law defines "owner" for these purposes to mean either a natural person who has at least a 25% recorded ownership interest in the property or a natural person who has any recorded ownership interest in the property if 100% of the recorded ownership is divided among owners who are related to each other as sibling, spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, grandparent, or grandchild. Existing law defines "natural person" for these purposes to include a natural person who is a settlor or beneficiary of a family trust or, if the property is owned by a limited liability company or partnership, a natural person with a 25% ownership interest in the property, as specified. This bill would revise the definition of "natural person" to instead include, if the property is owned by a limited liability company or partnership, a natural person who is a beneficial owner, as defined, with least a 25% ownership interest in the property. The bill would also make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
