Operative Text
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66427.1 (c), each tenant not in default under the obligations of the rental agreement or lease under which he occupies his unit shall be given one hundred eighty (180) days' written notice of intention to convert his or her unit prior to termination of tenancy due to the conversion or proposed conversion. Evidence of receipt by each tenant shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to filing of the final map. The written notices to tenants required by this section shall be deemed satisfied if such notices comply with the legal requirements for service by mail.
Under Orinda Code of Ordinances ch. 16.84, art. 3 § 16.84.240, when a rental property is being converted to condominiums or another ownership form, tenants who are current on their lease obligations must receive at least 180 days' written notice before their tenancy can be terminated due to that conversion. Proof that each tenant received this notice must be submitted to the Community Development Department before the final subdivision map is filed. Notice delivered by mail in accordance with legal mailing requirements is considered sufficient under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators managing a property subject to condominium conversion under § 16.84.240 are generally expected to prepare and deliver written 180-day notices to all tenants who are not in default well before any conversion-related termination date. Compliant operators document proof of receipt for each tenant and submit that evidence to the Orinda Community Development Department prior to filing the final map. Notices sent by mail that meet applicable legal service-by-mail standards satisfy the written-notice requirement under this section.

Section 16.84.240 gives tenants who are current on their lease obligations the right to at least 180 days' written notice before their tenancy can be ended because of a condominium conversion. If a landlord attempts to terminate a tenancy related to a conversion without providing this notice, tenants may be able to raise the lack of proper notice as a defense or ground for complaint. Tenants who believe this provision has not been followed may consider contacting the Orinda Community Development Department or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
