In California, the eviction process begins with proper notices detailing breaches or nonpayment. If the issue isn’t resolved, a lawsuit for unlawful detainer is filed in the county court. A hearing may be scheduled, and a judgment issued. Timelines vary by county, court, and case complexity, so working with an attorney helps prevent delays.
Possible defenses include improper notice, miscalculation of rent, or disputed lease terms. Tenants may also challenge the amount of rent claimed or the validity of the eviction grounds.
