Eviction timelines in California vary by the reason for eviction and the county. For nonpayment, a notice period is followed by a complaint filed with the court and a hearing date.

Notice requirements include clear documentation of the lease term, breach or nonpayment, and the correct notice period under state and local law. Service must be properly completed on the tenant in ways allowed by law. Our team helps ensure notices are valid and timely.
