In CA, is it legal to evict a family if they are expecting a baby?

We are looking into renting an apartment. The lease is for one year and it states that only a certain amount of people can live in the apartment.


What happens though, if after the lease is renewed for another year, the wife gets pregnant?


Can the landlord evict the family once he knows that she is expecting?





Thanks!|||The baby will have no legal percussions on an eviction at all.





The landlord can not evict because of the baby. However, he can not rent to you once the baby is 12 months old.|||yes.|||No one can evict while she is pregnant as legally there's been no change in the number of tenants.


The lease clause is designed to prevent lots of people cramming into an apartment, no landlord will mind if a baby comes. Relax..|||I don't think any landlord will evict the family that adds one child to the apartment, but they may have an issue with putting two or more children into a one-bedroom apartment. However, when the lease comes up for renewal, he may choose not to renew.|||Yes. Certificate of occupancy limits the number of people living in a unit. If that CofO is violated, it can be pulled and everyone in the building evicted. So once you add a 3rd person to a studio or 1 BR, you're out.





If you want to have a baby, get a two-bedroom apartment. If you cannot afford it, you cannot afford a baby, so wait until you are more financially secure. You wouldn't want your baby to do without anyway - you want the best for your baby, so plan in advance to provide for all the love, care, attention and housing space it is going to need.|||Ca. land lord speaking: The courts have ruled that an infant may not be counted as a person until the infant reaches the age it needs it's own bedroom. The courts defined that age as when the infant becomes mobile and is crawling all over the place.





Once you have a Rug Rat, you need to find a larger place to live. Usually, most people will want to find a larger place to live before the infant causes an eviction.
