RESIDENTIAL EVICTION PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA

Most California unlawful detainer proceedings are filed by the landlord because the residential tenant has failed to pay the rent.  Regardless of the reason, before a landlord can file an unlawful detainer lawsuit to evict a residential tenant, the tenant must be properly served with the appropriate notice. The notice must be provided to the tenant in writing and the landlord must follow strict procedures to obtain possession of the premises legally. We walk you through each step of the process.

California recognizes several reasons for an eviction, including:

· Failure to pay rent

· Damage to the property

· Violating terms of the lease agreement

· Remaining on the property after the lease is up

· Illegal uses of the property include drug use,   production/sales

· Being a nuisance to other tenants

· The end of a month-to-month tenancy

· The property being sold

In most cities, the landlord can also evict the residential tenant:

· If the tenant stays after the lease is up, or

· If the landlord cancels the rental agreement by giving property notice.

The specific circumstances determine the type of notice required to be served on the tenant. In California, when rent is unpaid, a 3-Day notice to Pay or Quit can be served on the tenant. In situations when the tenant has paid the rent, but the landlord wants the tenant to move, a 30-Day Notice to Vacate is required. Tenancies over one year require a 60-day notice to Vacate.

Sometimes, the eviction process can be frustrating and time-consuming. While tenants do have certain rights when it comes to the eviction process, it’s still frustrating for a landlord who wants possession of the property back. Filing the right paperwork at the outset is critical to ensuring the process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. Our unlawful detainer assistant team ensures that everything is done correctly to protect your rights.

Issues that can occur during a residential eviction

Sometimes, there are unexpected issues that occur in the process of an unlawful detainer case that causes delays. The Perdew Enterprises team is prepared and experienced to handle each delay.

We have seen tenants try to evade eviction by:

· evade service of the lawsuit

If after three attempts by the Process Server to serve a filed unlawful detainer lawsuit a tenant(s) deliberately evades personal service, we would move for a Posting Order from the Court. This would permit us to serve the Tenant by posting the filed lawsuit at the property and mailing a duplicate of the filing to the address where the posting was made.  This requires the tenant to file an Answer with the Court within 15 days.

· File a demurrer

· file a motion to stay

· file a motion to quash service

· file a motion to strike

How long will it take?

Remember, 75% of the cases we file are UNCONTESTED.  This means that the tenant(s) do not file any legal documents, such as an Answer to the Complaint, a motion, or any objections, with the Superior Court. This is great news because the case will proceed by default and no court appearance or additional fees will be incurred to finalize the unlawful detainer lawsuit.
