California Landlords: inhariating tenants
Attention California investors
I have a hypothetical situation that I'm thinking through if it comes up.
Purchasing a duplex with an ADU (three total units) and there are tenants living in two of the units.
I plan to owner occupy the property.
Property make up is
2/1, 2/1, and studio.
The lease ends for one of the 2/1’s and Id like to move into that unit once their lease is up. It needs more work then the other, so my plan is to do that while I live in it. They have been there for over a year and it ends in April. Is it just cause to terminate their lease or will they be able to dispute it?
Secondly, the studio is far below market rent and the rental cap of 9.1% increase still lands it below market rent. I have read that if you owner occupy a duplex, rent caps do not apply. Does that sound correct?
Any and all perspectives are welcome :)
