In California, an eviction is a legal action to regain possession of a rental unit. It starts with proper notices, followed by a filed eviction case if the tenant does not cure the issue or vacate.
Timelines vary by case and jurisdiction, but eviction actions typically progress through notices, filing, court hearings, and potential post-judgment actions. Delays can occur if defenses arise or if paperwork isn’t complete.
Notice requirements depend on the reason for eviction. Common notices include pay-or-quit or cure-or-quit notices, served in accordance with state law and local rules.
Licensed process servers or law enforcement-assisted service may be used, subject to legal requirements. Proper service helps avoid disputes and delays.
Some evictions can be settled through negotiations or settlements with agreed terms, but many proceed to court for a definitive resolution.
After a judgment, remedies may include a writ of possession or other enforcement steps to regain control of the property.
While not always required, having a lawyer can help ensure notices and filings are correct, defenses are addressed, and timelines are met.
Bring lease documents, notices, payment records, correspondence with the tenant, and any relevant photos or documentation of property condition.
Residential and commercial evictions share core steps but differ in rules, timelines, and defenses; commercial evictions often involve more lease-specific provisions.
A writ of possession authorizes law enforcement to remove occupants if necessary after a judgment, and it sets a date for vacant possession.
