In Western Land Office, Inc. v. Cervantes, supra, 175 Cal.App.3d 724, 733, 220 Cal.Rptr. 784, the Court of Appeal examined the predecessor to subdivision (e) of section 1942.5 and observed that it "covered the situation where the complaining tenant was not in violation of any law or agreement, but the landlord nevertheless wished to take action in good faith for a valid reason." (Italics added.) The court offered examples of such valid reasons: "[A] landlord might have wanted (1) to raise the tenant's rent because taxes on the property had increased; (2) to recover possession of the tenant's dwelling for the purpose of remodeling or demolishing; or (3) to sell the premises to someone who had another tenant in mind." (Ibid.)
