Can a landlord collect rent in Los Angeles CA if the tenant is being evicted for breech of rental agreement not rent?

Yes, a landlord in Los Angeles, California can collect rent from a tenant who is being evicted for breach of rental agreement, even if the breach is not related to rent payment.

In California, landlords are entitled to collect rent for the entire rental period, regardless of whether the tenant has been evicted or has moved out. If a tenant breaches the rental agreement, the landlord may be able to evict the tenant, but they are still owed the rent for the full term of the lease.

This means that even if a tenant is evicted for a reason other than nonpayment of rent, such as violating a no-smoking policy or causing property damage, the landlord can still demand rent for the entire rental period.

However, if a tenant has been evicted due to a housing code violation that the landlord is responsible for, the tenant may be able to withhold rent or seek other remedies under California law.

In any case, it is crucial for both tenants and landlords to understand and follow the terms of the rental agreement, as well as their rights and responsibilities under California landlord-tenant law to avoid legal complications.
