Is it necessary for an ARF to request permission from CCL to serve a resident with a 3-day eviction notice?

When dealing with eviction notices for residents in an Adult Residential Facility (ARF), it is essential to understand the regulatory requirements mandated by the California Community Care Licensing (CCL). The requirement to request permission from CCL when serving a resident with a 3-day eviction notice stems from the protections in place for individuals living in these facilities.

Serving an eviction notice can significantly impact a resident's stability and overall well-being. Therefore, the CCL mandates that operators of ARFs must seek authorization before proceeding with eviction, ensuring that the rights and needs of residents are carefully considered. This process helps to prevent arbitrary or unjust evictions and ensures that the facility adheres to the regulations designed to protect vulnerable populations.

In some situations, if a resident contests the eviction or if the circumstances are complicated, this authorization becomes even more critical. However, the baseline rule is that any eviction notice requires prior consent from CCL to ensure compliance with state laws regarding the treatment of residents in care facilities.
