Inglewood · Eviction

Can my landlord make me move out in Inglewood?

Yes, only for an allowed reason.

Why, and the exact law

If it's not your fault, they pay 3 times monthly rent to help you move.

Depends on the year the building was built.

From Inglewood Mun. Code ch. 8, art. 9 (§§ 8-121, 8-122, 8-123), read Oct 4, 2026.
