In California, evictions begin with a proper notice and may proceed to court if the tenant does not cure or vacate. A judge’s decision typically leads to possession enforcement.
Timelines vary depending on court calendars and tenant responses. For straightforward cases, the process can move quickly, while defenses or delays may extend the timeline.
While you can file without an attorney, having counsel helps ensure notices and filings comply with complex rules and helps present the strongest case.
Eviction costs can include filing fees, process server fees, and potential attorney fees. We help you evaluate costs and plan a cost-effective approach.
Tenants may appeal certain eviction decisions under California law, which can extend the timeline. We can help navigate potential appeals.
A writ of possession is a court order that allows the sheriff to remove a tenant from the property after a judgment. If issued, the landlord can coordinate with local authorities to regain possession.
Relocation assistance is not always required by law, but some landlords choose to offer it as part of a settlement. We can advise on options.
Residential evictions typically require notices with specific timelines, while commercial evictions follow different rules. We tailor notices to your situation.
