An eviction begins when a landlord serves a legally compliant notice and the tenant does not vacate as required under the lease and California law.
The process typically includes notice delivery, a filed unlawful detainer action, potential hearings, and, if needed, enforcement through a writ of possession.
In California, eviction procedures are handled through unlawful detainer actions. Timelines depend on notice type, tenant responses, and court schedules, with eligibility determined by lease terms, nonpayment, or lease violations.
Key steps include delivering a proper notice, filing an unlawful detainer, serving documents, attending hearings, and, if necessary, obtaining a writ of possession with sheriff assistance.
Essential terms you should know when navigating evictions include notices, unlawful detainer, holdover, writ of possession, and service of process.
A court action used to recover possession of a property when a tenant fails to leave after proper notice.
A written notice served to end tenancy or begin eviction proceedings, specifying a date to vacate.
A tenant who remains after the lease ends or after eviction steps have begun.
