California Landlords: Get Your Property & Rental Income in 6-Weeks

We Specialize In a Faster, Court-Compliant Eviction Process to Get Your Rental Income Back On Track

Your Property Secured in as Little as 26 Days

The eviction process in California begins when a landlord serves a written notice to a tenantThe notice informs the tenant of the reason for the eviction and the amount of time they have to move out or fix the issue. If the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord can file an eviction case. 

 
Steps in a simple eviction process
  1. Serve a noticeThe landlord gives the tenant a written notice that specifies the action required and the deadline. The notice type depends on the reason for eviction. 
     
  2. File an eviction caseIf the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord files an eviction case, also known as an unlawful detainer. 
     
  3. Serve the tenant with court papersThe landlord has the court papers served to the tenant. 
     
  4. Respond to the courtThe tenant can respond to the court by filing a form called an Answer. 
     
  5. Judge makes a decisionThe judge will decide the case, either with or without a trial. 
     
  6. Evict the tenantIf the landlord wins, the judge will issue papers to the sheriff to evict the tenant. The sheriff will post a Notice to Vacate, giving the tenant time to move out.

We Handle All Types of Cases:

  • Section 8/Housing Authority Eviction: A tenant receiving Section 8 subsidy has failed to pay their portion of the rent for two months. The landlord can issue a “3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit,” just like with any other tenant.
  • Foreclosure Eviction: The bank forecloses on a rental property. The new owner notifies the tenants, and if they do not move out by the deadline provided, the new owner must file an eviction case in court to legally remove them.
  • Forcible Detainer/Entry Eviction: Entry: Someone breaks into a vacant apartment and changes the locks to live there. Detainer: A former tenant’s lease ended, but they refuse to leave and stay in the apartment.
  • Squatter Eviction: A person moves into a vacant garage unit without permission. If the landlord waits more than a month to start the eviction process, they might have to treat the squatter like a tenant and go through the formal court eviction process to remove them.
  • Subtenants and Unauthorized Occupants Eviction: The original tenant moves out, but their roommate (who was not on the lease) stays behind and won’t leave. The landlord will need to formally evict the unauthorized occupant because they claim to be a protected tenant.
  • At-Will Tenancy Eviction: A landlord lets a friend live in a spare room without a lease and doesn’t charge them rent or utilities. To end this arrangement, the landlord must still give formal written notice to end the “at-will” tenancy before filing an eviction case.
  • Mobile Home Park Eviction: A mobile home park tenant is consistently violating the park’s rules. The landlord must provide a much longer and more specific written notice (e.g., 60 days) to the tenant than they would for a regular apartment before they can file for eviction.
  • RV Park Eviction: A long-term RV park resident is causing problems. The park owner must follow the specific rules in the RV Park Occupancy Law, which requires certain notices and timeframes, to remove the resident.
  • Owner Move-In Eviction: A landlord wants to move their son into a rental unit as his primary home. The landlord must serve a formal “no-fault” eviction notice but can only do this if it is a genuine reason (not just an excuse to charge a higher rent to a new tenant).
  • Commercial Eviction: A business renting a storefront fails to pay their monthly rent, or the business is violating a key term of the lease (like making unauthorized changes to the building). The landlord can start a legal eviction case.
  • Employment Termination Eviction: A building manager who lives rent-free in an apartment as part of their job is fired. Upon termination, the landlord can immediately go to court to get a court order to remove the former employee without having to serve a typical 30- or 60-day notice first.
  • Care Facility/Assisted Living Eviction: A resident of an assisted living facility has not paid for the required monthly care services for two weeks. The facility can issue an eviction notice and legally remove the resident if the bill remains unpaid after the required notice period.
  • Master Tenant Eviction: The person whose name is on the main lease (the master tenant) has legally sublet a room to another person (the subtenant). If the subtenant violates the sublease agreement (e.g., by not paying rent to the master tenant), the master tenant can start the formal eviction process against the subtenant.
  • Residential Eviction: A landlord wants to remove a tenant living in a standard apartment. They cannot simply tell the tenant to leave; they must have a legally valid reason (a “just cause”) to serve a proper notice and file an eviction case.

What is the timeline for getting my tenants evicted?

In California, an uncontested eviction can typically take 6 to 12 weeks, but several factors can influence the exact timeline such as if your tenant is evading service of the lawsuit or contest the complaint.

What happens if the tenant files an Answer?

In the event that the tenant(s) do file an Answer to the eviction complaint (this happens in less than 25% of our cases), we will draft and file the Request/Counter Request for Court Trial.

How do I begin an Eviction now?

Click the ‘Intake’ on the header and call us to start the intake questionnaire with one of our Intake Specialist who will guide you through a series of questions and you can make a payment so we can get started immediately. 

Do I have to attend the eviction hearing?

Court Trial– If a tenant files an Answer to your lawsuit, our Team will prepare and submit for court filing the Request for Court Trial. The clerk of the court will set the court trial and you, the landlord, will have to appear to testify.

What are your invoicing procedures?

As we move forward on your eviction matter, we invoice as the matter progresses with costs not covered by our initial service fees. Those fees could be court filing, process service, postage, copies, e-filing processing fees, etc.

What happens if the tenant doesn't contest?

If the tenant does not respond or contest the matter, possession is granted by default. This means that there will be no court appearance required by you or an attorney. We will obtain a judgment for possession without a trial.
