An eviction is a legal action to remove a tenant from a property. It begins with a formal notice and may proceed to a court hearing if unresolved.
We explain each step, timelines, and options so you can make informed decisions about enforcement, remedies, and possible settlements.
Evictions, called unlawful detainer actions in California, balance landlord rights with tenant protections. The process includes notices, filings, service, court appearances, and potential post-judgment enforcement.
Key elements include proper notices, filing the complaint, service of process, a court hearing, and enforcement of a judgment. We guide you through each stage to ensure accuracy and compliance.
