We help you navigate both residential and commercial eviction processes, from preliminary notices to writs of possession when necessary.
An eviction is a legal process used to remove a tenant or occupant from a rental property when terms are violated or rent is unpaid.
Key steps include reviewing leases, delivering lawful notices, filing in court, and pursuing possession through appropriate remedies.
Below are common terms you may encounter in eviction cases.
A notice that requires payment of overdue rent or the tenant must move out.
A legal action filed to recover possession of a rental unit when occupants fail to meet lease terms.
A court order directing the sheriff to remove a tenant after a judgment.

The first step is usually a review of the lease and notices served. Gather copies of your lease, any notices, rent records, and correspondence. This helps us determine the best path forward and identify any potential defenses. In many cases, early clarification can prevent unnecessary court steps.
No. A landlord cannot lock out a tenant without a court order. California eviction procedures require proper notices and, if needed, a court judgment before enforcement. Attempting self-help eviction can create legal risk for the landlord.
Timing varies by case and jurisdiction. Typical steps include serving a compliant notice, the tenant’s response period, any required court filings, and potential hearings. In commercial eviction matters, timelines may differ based on lease terms and court calendars.
Fees can include filing costs, process server fees, and attorney time. Some costs may be recoverable if you prevail in court, but specifics depend on the case and local rules. We provide a clear estimate at the outset.
Having a lawyer is highly recommended. An attorney helps ensure notices are accurate, filings are proper, and your rights are protected throughout the process.
After a judgment for possession, the next steps may involve enforcement measures if the tenant does not vacate as ordered. We guide you through lawful enforcement and any related post-judgment matters.
Commercial evictions require careful attention to lease terms, service of notices, and court procedures. Working with counsel helps ensure compliance and a smoother process.
Defenses in California can include improper notice timing, failure to follow statutory requirements, or breaches by the landlord. Each case depends on its facts and applicable laws.
