San Diego's Tenant Protections Ordinance extends just-cause eviction protection to properties that AB 1482 exempts, and requires relocation assistance on a no-fault termination.

A Costa-Hawkins exemption from rent *control* is not an exemption from eviction control here. An owner-move-in or substantial-remodel plan carries a relocation payment.

In effect since 2023-06-24.
