An eviction action, or unlawful detainer, is a legal process to regain possession of a rental property when terms of tenancy are breached or rent remains unpaid.
The process typically involves notices, filings, court hearings, and, if needed, enforcement through a writ of possession.
Eviction cases in California start with appropriate notices, followed by a filed complaint and a court date where a judge will determine possession and related remedies.
Key steps include reviewing the lease, evaluating defenses, serving notices, filing, appearing in court, and obtaining a writ if possession is required.
