Evictions involve statutory requirements, local ordinances, and court procedures that determine how and when a tenant must move from a property.
We assess your situation for nonpayment, lease violations, holdovers, or failure to vacate, and tailor a strategy to fit your goals.
In California, eviction cases follow a defined sequence: proper notices, a complaint filed with the court, service of process, a hearing, and, if necessary, an order of possession.
The core steps include correct notice form, filing a lawsuit, serving the tenant, pursuing a court ruling, and, when appropriate, obtaining a writ that allows possession to be enforced.
Common terms and definitions used in eviction actions help you understand the process and plan next steps.
A formal notice that ends a tenancy by a stated date, typically used to begin eviction for nonpayment or lease violations.
The court action filed to recover possession when a tenant remains after the notice period has passed.
A notice demanding timely payment of rent or vacating the premises, often used in nonpayment cases.
A court order allowing the sheriff to remove occupants and reclaim possession of the property.
Options range from negotiated settlements and administrative remedies to formal eviction litigation, each with different timelines and risks.
