Is ending a month by month legal during Covid?
I have a month by month lease in CA and I notified my tenant it's not renewed and she needs to leave. No cause. Just not renewing the lease.
The tenant took legal advise and a lawyer non profit organisation contacted me referring to the Tenant Relief Act of 2020 and the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, and the ending of a periodic lease is not considered “just cause” for eviction under these laws...

The tenant lease expired today. And I planned a move out inspection and Open House tomorrow. I just plan to enter the house...
The tenant is not very vocal (and do not speak English anyway)
Is this really illegal to end a lease during Covid? Or should I just proceed. In the limit of respect and decency obviously...
