In California, eviction begins with a lawful notice, followed by a complaint filed in the proper court. The process includes a hearing and potential judgment, with enforcement options if needed.
Timelines vary by county and tenancy type, but notices and court dates are strictly scheduled. Delays can occur if defenses are raised or notices are defective.

While not always required, having legal representation helps ensure notices and filings comply with state law and county rules, and can improve case management.
Costs include filing fees, process server fees, attorney fees, and, if applicable, expert or citation costs. Fees vary by case and county.
