I recently bought a duplex in Sacramento with a tenant in one unit residing on a month-to-month lease. They are in the property for more than one year. I have served a termination notice with a 60 days timeline with intent. Since it's my intention for Termination and belongs to the "Just CAUSES NO-FAULT" category. After 40 days of serving notice, now Tenant highlighting the following rule and demanding for RELOCATION ASSISTANCE/RENT WAIVER which is equal to one month of rent. Does this rule apply to Month-to-Month Tenancy? Can someone clarify the following rule.

@Vijay Aruswamy If the tenant has lived in the property for over 12 months, they are covered by the “just cause” protections of AB1482. That means they’re entitled to the relocation assistance payment or waiver of last month’s rent.
It doesn’t matter that they were/are now a month-to-month tenant. What matters is how long they’ve lived in the property.

they also don't HAVE to leave, this eviction moratorium has made life difficult for landlords, that notice you served was nothing more than a "please get out" letter. Hope it works out for you brother but yes if you can get away with just giving them one month of rent consider that a huge win
