Tenant Protection Act Clarification
Summary
The Tenant Protection Act (TPA) in California generally applies to properties with two or more units, but exemptions exist for owner-occupied properties with no more than three units. In your case, with five additional occupied units and a shared kitchen, the TPA might apply. However, the specifics can be complex, especially with shared spaces. Long-term residency and substantial rent payments could strengthen your position. Consulting a local lawyer is advisable for personalized advice and to understand your rights and options under the TPA.Full Conversation
