Can we be evicted for this? (Hospice related)

[Travis M.]

Hello, 

My girlfriend caught her mom's nursing home performing elder abuse, and has it on record, and has proof.

She immediately moved her mom out of there and brought her to live with us here in California. We rent a house from our landlord in a small town.

We never notified the landlord of this change, given the grave and very serious circumstances. The logistics were that there was nowhere else to go where she could recieve good care (my gf's siblings don't care even 1/10th of what she does). Naturally the only choice is under my gf's 24/7 care. The power of attourney brother approved this, and she came to live with us.

There is a growing concern though that if she dies, or we have to get hospice involved soon, that we will have to tell the landlord and he will evict us because he will say we violated our lease.

Ive been reading about some "stigmatized property" law as well if someone dies in there. So there's also the concern that if she somehow dies here then we will have to tell him and he could sue us for not being able to rent this property out potentially? is that a stupid concern?

Is there any protections we have here? My primary goals are to:

1) keep our apartment, as its beautiful location and perfect
2) have hospice come to our house if needed, and in the event of a death, we keep our rental under what I'm hoping to be some law that exists for "extenuating circumstances" (which I believe these are). There really were no other good options that lead to a higher quality of life.

Thank you
