An eviction is a legal process used to regain possession of a property. In California, the process typically starts with a notice, followed by an unlawful detainer action and a court hearing.
Key steps include issuing the correct notice, properly serving it, filing a complaint, responding to defenses, and, if needed, obtaining a writ of possession and enforcement assistance from the court.
Familiarize yourself with common eviction terms to better understand filings, notices, and court procedures.
A legal action filed to recover possession of a rental property after a lawful eviction notice or breach of lease.
A written notice informing the tenant of eviction grounds and the deadline to move out, which starts the legal process.
A court order allowing law enforcement to remove occupants and return possession to the owner after a judgment.
A breach of lease terms that can justify eviction, such as nonpayment of rent or repeated disturbances.
In some cases, alternatives to eviction, such as negotiated settlements or mediation, may be appropriate. We help you weigh risks, costs, and timelines.
If the eviction is straightforward with no defenses, we may pursue a streamlined process to save time and costs.
When both sides agree on terms or the facts are undisputed, a focused approach can be most efficient.
If defenses arise, or notices require precise legal language, a thorough approach helps ensure compliance and effectiveness.

In California, evictions follow a formal sequence starting with a proper notice, then a complaint for unlawful detainer, and finally a court hearing. Timelines vary by city and case type. We help you navigate each step and prepare a strong, compliant filing.
In some situations, tenancy terminations can occur without cause, but there are limits and specific rules. We review your lease and local ordinances to determine the best path and minimize disruption.
Notice requirements depend on the reason for eviction. Common notices include 3-day, 30-day, or 60-day notices, all of which must be properly served.
Eviction timelines depend on court schedules and defenses. Many cases resolve in weeks to a few months, with some factors extending the process.
While not always required, having a lawyer can help ensure filings are accurate and hearings go smoothly, particularly in contested cases.
If you lose, court costs may be awarded under California rules. We can review potential fees and discuss options.
Tenants may challenge notices or defenses. We evaluate each defense and advise on the best course of action.
After a judgment, options include settlement, eviction, or appeals, depending on the specifics of the case and the court ruling.
Appeals are possible in limited circumstances. We explain the grounds and process and help you assess viability.
