Eviction in California is a legal process to regain possession of rental property after a lease ends or a breach occurs. The process must follow state and local rules, including proper notices and timely filings.
The timeline varies by case and county, but typical steps include notices, court filings, possible hearings, and enforcement. Local factors in Burlingame can influence scheduling.
Eviction actions involve filing fees, service costs, and potential attorney fees. Costs can vary based on complexity and duration of the case.
In some cases a tenant can cure the breach by paying rent or correcting violations within allowed periods, affecting strategy and schedule.
A writ of possession is a court order allowing eviction and removal of occupants. It is issued after a judgment and typically enforced by law enforcement.
While not mandatory, having a lawyer can help ensure notices and filings meet legal requirements and improve likelihood of a favorable outcome.
At the hearing, the judge reviews evidence, hears both sides, and decides on possession and any required remedies or penalties.
Mediation or settlement can resolve issues without a full eviction trial in many cases, saving time and costs when both sides are open to negotiation.
Bring leases, notices, payment histories, correspondence, and a list of questions to discuss goals and options with an eviction attorney.
