An eviction is a legal process by which a landlord seeks to recover possession of a rental unit after a tenant breaches the lease or fails to pay rent. In California, strict notice and court procedures must be followed.
Typical steps include serving proper notice, filing an unlawful detainer complaint, responding to defenses, court hearings, and, if necessary, a writ of possession with sheriff assistance.
