4. Purpose

   Under the Just Cause for Eviction provisions of the Richmond Fair Rent, Just Cause for Eviction, and Homeowner Protection Ordinance, Tenants can only be evicted for specific reasons stated in the law. The Just Cause for eviction law provided in Rent Ordinance (RMC 11.100) will continue to apply to most residential Tenants.

A Proof of Service with time and date of service must be included with the copy of the notice filed with the Rent Board.
