Under California's just cause eviction requirements (AB 1482), which of the following is NOT a valid just cause for eviction?

ANon-payment of rent, per standard property management industry practice
BThe tenant has lived there for 3 years and the landlord wants a higher-paying tenantCorrect
CMaterial breach of the lease, under standard California property management practice
DThe owner wants to move into the unit, as typically required in a residential lease

Why The tenant has lived there for 3 years and the landlord wants a higher-paying tenant Is Correct

Answer B: The tenant has lived there for 3 years and the landlord wants a higher-paying tenant

AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act) prohibits landlords from evicting tenants without just cause for properties covered by the law. Simply wanting a higher-paying tenant (no-fault without proper relocation assistance) is not a valid just cause for eviction.
