In California eviction matters start with a proper notice served to the tenant detailing the reason and the date they must comply or move out. If the tenant does not remedy or vacate, the landlord may file an unlawful detainer action in the superior court to seek a judgment and possession.
Timelines depend on the notice type and court scheduling. Many cases involve three to sixty days before filing, depending on the basis for eviction. After filing, hearings are scheduled, and outcomes hinge on the evidence presented.
Costs can include court filing fees, service fees, and attorney fees. Some fees may be recoverable through judgments, and we discuss options during a consultation.
