How many days can a licensee evict a client without needing special permission from licensing?

In California, a licensee can evict a client from an Adult Residential Facility (ARF) without needing special permission from the licensing authority within a time frame of 30 days. This policy is primarily designed to ensure that licensees can manage their facilities effectively while also providing a degree of flexibility in case a client is not able to comply with facility rules or if their health needs change significantly.

If a licensee needs to evict a client for reasons such as repeated violations of facility policies or a need for a higher level of care than what the facility can provide, the 30-day notice period allows the licensee to assist clients in transitioning smoothly without undue delay. This timeframe is consistent with many tenancy laws, which emphasize both the rights of the provider and the well-being of the residents.

In contrast, other timeframes listed, such as 15 days, 60 days, or 90 days, do not align with current ARF regulations concerning eviction without special permission. The specified 30 days is the minimum duration mandated to give adequate notice while facilitating proper management of the facility.
