In California, an eviction is called unlawful detainer. It begins when a landlord files a complaint after proper notice. The tenant then has a chance to respond, and a judge makes a ruling based on the evidence presented. If the landlord prevails, a writ of possession may be issued to restore possession of the property.
Eviction timelines vary with court calendars and service speed; in Adelanto, cases can take weeks to a few months depending on complexity. Some cases may move faster with agreed-upon timelines or mediation.
