An eviction action is a court process used to regain possession when tenancy terms are violated or rent remains unpaid.
Our team explains notices, deadlines, court procedures, and potential outcomes so you can plan each step with confidence.
In California, eviction cases begin with a proper notice, followed by a complaint for unlawful detainer, and may progress to a court hearing before a judge who decides possession.
Core elements include correct notice service, filing in the appropriate court, timely responses, discovery where applicable, possible motions, and, if needed, a writ of possession to enforce a judgment.
This glossary defines terms commonly used in eviction actions: unlawful detainer, notice to quit, summons and complaint, writ of possession, and related terms.
Unlawful Detainer is the court action a landlord files to regain possession after tenancy ends or terms are violated.
Notice to Quit is a formal written notice requiring a tenant to vacate the property by a specified date.
The Summons and Complaint starts the eviction case and informs the tenant of the court date and claims against them.
A Writ of Possession allows the sheriff to remove occupants if a judgment is entered and the tenant does not vacate.
We present eviction options, including notices, negotiated settlements, and formal litigation, outlining timelines, costs, and likely outcomes to help you decide the best path.
