An eviction, or unlawful detainer action, is the legal process used to regain possession of rental property when a tenant breaches the lease or fails to vacate.
Key steps include issuing a proper notice, filing a complaint, serving documents, court hearings, and, if needed, a writ of possession to complete the process.
This glossary explains common eviction terms used in California eviction cases.
A civil action filed to recover possession of real property when a tenant fails to leave or breaches the lease.
A written notice informing the tenant of the lease violation and the time to correct or vacate before lawsuit.

In California, eviction begins with a proper notice to quit or cure. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord files an unlawful detainer action to regain possession. The court process allows both sides to present evidence, and a judge may issue a judgment granting possession or dismissing the case.
Timing varies by county and case complexity. Typically, a straightforward eviction can take a few weeks to a couple of months, but delays can occur if a tenant files a defense. Factors include notice type, tenant responses, and court availability.
Gather the lease agreement, notices served, rent records, and communications with the tenant. Organized documentation helps support the eviction claim and reduces questions during court.
In many cases, tenants can cure certain breaches if the lease allows it and the notice specifies a cure option. If cure is not possible or the breach recurs, eviction may proceed as permitted by law.
A writ of possession is a court order allowing the sheriff to remove a tenant after a judgment. The writ enables lawful enforcement of possession and returns control of the property to the landlord.
Most evictions require court adjudication, though some disputes may be resolved through mediation or settlement before trial. Court involvement helps ensure due process and accurate outcome.
Tenants have rights to proper notice, an opportunity to respond, and defenses under California law. Guidance from our team helps tenants understand and exercise those rights within the eviction process.
An eviction judgment can appear on credit reports depending on reporting practices and timing. Landlords should consider long-term effects and communicate clearly with tenants about any consequences.
Commercial evictions follow similar unlawful detainer rules but lease terms and remedies can differ. Our firm helps align strategies with the specifics of commercial leases and business needs.
