The eviction process in California starts with a proper notice describing the reason for possession and the time allowed to cure or move out. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord files an unlawful detainer in the superior court. A court hearing then determines whether possession should be granted.
Timelines vary by county and notice type. In some cases an eviction can proceed in a matter of weeks, while court backlogs can extend the duration. We help manage schedules and minimize delays.
Typically a landlord or property manager files the eviction. In some cases a lien holder or mortgage owner may pursue possession if allowed by the lease and applicable law.
Notices to quit or pay or quit are required depending on the breach. The notice period and form depend on the reason for eviction and the type of lease.
Tenants can defend by answering, raising defenses, and negotiating settlements. Legal counsel can help present defenses and protect rights in court.
Costs include filing fees, service of process, and attorney fees. We review all costs with you and explore options to manage expenses.
Yes, parties often appear in court. Clients may attend hearings or authorize counsel to represent them.
