Whether you are a landlord seeking possession or a tenant defending your occupancy, clear strategy and reliable guidance help you navigate every stage.
An eviction is a legal process used to regain possession of a property when terms of occupancy are violated or the tenancy ends. In California, most eviction actions are filed as unlawful detainer lawsuits, with notices and court proceedings that must be properly followed.
To succeed, a case typically requires a valid tenancy, proper notices (such as a notice to pay rent or quit or a notice to quit), the filing of a complaint, service of process, tenant responses, hearings, and enforcement of a judgment or writ of possession. Deadlines vary by notice type and jurisdiction.
