Evictions generally begin with a proper notice, followed by the filing of an unlawful detainer complaint if the notice is not cured. The court schedule varies by county, but most cases involve several weeks to a few months from start to judgment. Local rules, service requirements, and tenant responses can extend timelines.
Common notices include a Pay or Quit for nonpayment, a Cure or Quit for lease violations, or an Nuisance notice for serious misconduct. Notices must meet statutory language and timing requirements and must be properly served.
While it is possible to handle simple evictions, California eviction cases involve precise forms, service rules, and deadlines. Working with an attorney helps ensure compliance and reduces the risk of delays.
If a tenant contests, the case proceeds to a court hearing where evidence is presented. The judge decides based on the facts and applicable law, and a judgment may include possession and possible remedies.
Bring lease agreements, notices, payment records, correspondence, and any relevant documents. A client intake form may also be requested.
A writ of possession is a court order allowing the sheriff to remove occupants after a judgment. It is issued when eviction is granted and must be enforced by law enforcement.
