An eviction is a legal action to regain possession of a rental property when lease terms are breached or tenancy ends. In California, notices and court procedures must be followed precisely to establish lawful possession.
Key elements include proper notices (such as Notice to Quit), filing the case in the correct court, addressing defenses, and, if needed, pursuing a writ of possession to recover the property.
Glossary terms help you navigate eviction law, including notices, writs, and court terminology used in California real estate disputes.
A written notice informing a tenant of the reason for eviction and the time to vacate or cure the issue.
A court action filed to restore possession of a rental property when tenancy terms have not been respected.
A court order allowing the sheriff to remove occupants and return possession to the rightful party.
