The following excerpt is from Woodward v. City of Tucson, 870 F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2017):
Because the undisputed evidence shows that Watts was aware of her eviction, this case differs from situations where the individuals claiming privacy rights either did not know they had been evicted or claimed that they still had tenancy rights. See Young , 573 F.3d at 71617 ; King v. Massarweh , 782 F.2d 825, 826, 828 (9th Cir. 1986) (providing that individuals who had been paying rent and were claiming tenancy rights during a landlord/tenant dispute had Fourth Amendment protections in connection with a warrantless search of their apartment, the seizure of their personal property, and their warrantless arrests). In that she had been evicted and locked out, Watts had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the apartment.
