An eviction is a lawful process for removing a tenant from a property when a lease is breached, rent is unpaid, or tenancy ends. In California, eviction involves notices, a court filing, a hearing, and, if necessary, a writ of possession to restore occupancy.
Typical steps include delivering a valid notice, filing a complaint, serving documents, attending a court hearing, and obtaining a writ of possession if needed. Each step requires precise timelines and proper documentation to protect your rights.
With eviction cases, understanding common terms helps you navigate timelines, remedies, and court procedures efficiently.
A written notice served to a tenant specifying the lease violation or end of tenancy and the time allowed to comply or vacate, which must precede an eviction action in many situations.
A court order that authorizes the sheriff to remove a tenant and restore possession to the landlord after a judgment for eviction has been entered.
A breach of the lease terms by the tenant, such as unauthorized occupants, property damage, or nonpayment of rent, that may justify eviction under California law.
The legal action filed by a landlord to regain possession of a rental property when a tenant stays beyond the terms of the lease or violates its terms.
