An eviction is a legal process to regain possession of property when a tenancy ends or a lease is breached.
Major steps include serving compliant notices, filing an unlawful detainer case, responding to defenses, attending hearings, and, if needed, pursuing a writ of possession.
This glossary defines common eviction terms you may encounter in California eviction proceedings.
Unlawful Detainer is the formal legal action used to recover possession of rental property after a tenancy ends or a lease is breached.
Notice to Quit is a written notice that starts the eviction process by specifying the breach or end of tenancy and the time to vacate.
The UD Complaint officially begins the eviction case in court and outlines the grounds for eviction and any amounts due.
A Writ of Possession is a court order allowing the sheriff to remove a tenant after a judgment if they do not leave.
Different approaches exist depending on tenancy status and lease terms. We explain options such as negotiated settlements, limited court actions, or full eviction proceedings.
In uncomplicated cases, a carefully crafted notice and a brief negotiation window can resolve the matter without a full court action.
A limited approach can save time and money when the tenancy dispute is straightforward and cooperation from the tenant is likely.
