An eviction is a legal process used to reclaim rental property when tenancy issues arise, such as nonpayment of rent, lease violations, or ending a tenancy.
We explain options, timelines, and potential outcomes so you can make informed decisions while staying compliant with California law.
In California, eviction cases are carried out as unlawful detainer actions that begin with a valid notice and proceed through the court system to regain possession.
Key steps include serving a compliant notice, filing a unlawful detainer action, and obtaining a lawful judgment and writ of possession, with court dates and possible defenses.
