Can you evict the Disabled?
My roommate and I are both struck with terminal illnesses. I have been out of work for the last 6 months. Our previous landlady died a month ago, and the new owner just purchased the building. Last night, he posted an eviction notice on our door giving us a 30-day notice to vacate.

We are ‘month to month’ renters in Oakland, CA. I have learned that a property owner can evict without cause. However, I want to know if he can evict persons that have a state recognized disability. Please advise.

    Yes, the disabled can be evicted without cause. A disabled person cannot be evicted because of the
    disability, nor can a selection of tenants to evict be influenced by
    a disability. Discrimination is not allowed, but there is no general protection from
    the operation of laws and rights of general application.
