Evictions, notices and transfers: the steps to remember

Does the eviction rest on one of the five reasons in section 87224, as the admission agreement states them?

• Yes

  Do you plan to give less than thirty days' notice?

  • Yes

    Do you have the licensing agency's prior written approval for a three-day eviction?

    • Yes

      Does the notice give specific facts, the effective date, housing and care resources, complaint contacts and the exact court statement?

      • Yes

        Will a copy go to the responsible person, and a written report to licensing within five days?

        • Yes

          The notice meets the licensing rules. Serve it, send the copy and the report, and keep the facts on file. If the resident stays past the effective date, only an unlawful detainer judgment can remove her.

        • No

          Arrange both before serving: notify or mail a copy to the responsible person, and set a date for the written report to licensing within five days.

      • No

        Fix the notice before serving it. Add each missing line, and copy the court statement word for word.

    • No

      Ask the licensing agency first. Set out the behavior with dates, places and witnesses. Licensing decides whether good cause exists. Serve no three-day notice until approval arrives in writing.

  • No

    Is the reason a change of use of the facility or a forfeited license?

    • Yes

      Give at least sixty days' written notice with the section 1569.682 content and a relocation evaluation for each resident. Accept no new residents. If seven or more residents must move, submit a closure plan and wait for the Department's approval before any transfer notice.

    • No

      Does the notice give specific facts, the effective date, housing and care resources, complaint contacts and the exact court statement?

      • Yes

        Will a copy go to the responsible person, and a written report to licensing within five days?

        • Yes

          The notice meets the licensing rules. Serve it, send the copy and the report, and keep the facts on file. If the resident stays past the effective date, only an unlawful detainer judgment can remove her.

        • No

          Arrange both before serving: notify or mail a copy to the responsible person, and set a date for the written report to licensing within five days.

      • No

        Fix the notice before serving it. Add each missing line, and copy the court statement word for word.

• No

  Stop. Do not serve a notice. Residents are protected from evictions for reasons the law does not allow. Ask your licensing office if you are unsure.
