[CA] Does my 60-day termination notice qualify for the TPA exemption?
Hi, I am issuing a 60-day lease termination for a single-family home in CA. The house was built in 2014, and the tenant has lived there since 2019. I believe I qualify for a Tenant Protection Act exemption. Is that correct?

Your property likely qualifies for the exemption under Civil Code §1946.2(e)(8). Since the home was built in 2014, it’s within the 15-year exemption period. But your termination notice must include the statutory disclosure language required for the exemption to be valid. You still need to follow the 60-day notice rule under §1946.1(b).
The notice must be written, include the termination date, state that the owner will move in, and be properly served. The required exemption disclosure is:
“This property is not subject to the rent limits imposed by Section 1947.12 of the Civil Code and is not subject to the just cause requirements of Section 1946.2 of the Civil Code. This property meets the requirements of Sections 1947.12(d)(5) and 1946.2(e)(8) for the single-family home or condominium exemption.”
Does that make sense?

Are there specific reasons for termination that support the exemption?
Move-out December 2025.

Good day and welcome. Give me a moment to review your question. Are there any terms in the lease related to termination or exemptions?
No-fault just-cause — owner moving in. It’s a single-family home built in 2014. Should qualify for TPA exemption under 15 years, owned by a person.
