An eviction is a legal process used by landlords to regain possession of a rental property when a tenant breaches the lease, fails to pay rent, or no longer meets tenancy terms. The process must follow strict notice and court procedures to be enforceable.
Key elements include proper notices, filing an unlawful detainer action, court hearings, and, if necessary, a writ of possession enforced by law enforcement to restore possession.
Below are common terms you’ll encounter in eviction cases.
A civil action filed by a landlord to recover possession of a rental unit after a tenant breaches the lease or fails to vacate after proper notice.
A written notification to a tenant specifying the breach and the date by which they must vacate or correct the issue.
A court order authorizing the sheriff to remove a tenant and restore possession after a judgment.
A court order delaying eviction under certain circumstances, often to allow tenants to cure or negotiate.
In California, landlords must pursue a lawful process rather than self-help. Options include proper notices, unlawful detainer actions, and court-ordered enforcement when necessary.
