ATTENTION: An Unlawful Detainer, more commonly known as an eviction, is used when a landlord wants to get tenants out of a rental property - either commercial or residential. Only a sheriff can evict someone. Even if a tenant is months behind on rent, the landlord cannot evict the tenant or get rid of the tenant's belongings. The landlord must get a court order for the sheriff to evict a tenant.

Tenants: We can assist you by responding to a Notice to Quit or a Summon from your landlord. Do not wait until the last day to file a response.


Landlord: California landlords must follow strict procedures to evict a tenant. We are here to walk this process with you step by step to secure a default judgment or an agreeable stipulation.

1. Mediation: Where both parties work together to reach an agreement outside the court. A stipulation for entry of judgment is generated as a settlement agreement that is or may be filed with the court. Stipulation for entry of judgment usually provides that the landlord will not request entry of judgment unless the tenant defaults on certain conditions specified in the stipulation.

2. Litigation: A contested action where a judge may make the final decision.

You want to sell or use the property for other purposes.

You want to formally notify your tenant that they must resolve a lease violation within a certain amount of time or else they will be evicted from the property.

Your tenant has remained on the property after the lease term has ended or after you notified them that you are ending their tenancy.

There are also some actions a landlord may not take to force a tenant to leave. These include:

A landlord cannot physically lock out a tenant or cut off utilities.

Landlords should never threaten their tenants with unlawful methods to evict or threaten the deportation of immigrant tenants.

To properly evict a tenant, you must take the legal route and file for an unlawful detainer trial.

Summary judgment motion: It is not a substitute for trial, it is a tool that allows courts to weed out cases that do not need a trial to be resolved. It also allows the court to simplify and streamline the case so that the trial is more efficient and focused on the areas of actual dispute.

Is it a good thing? Either a defendant or a plaintiff can request a summary judgment. Although a summary judgment is a favorable result for the motioning party, it can be detrimental for the opponent. For more information.

Motion to Quash: It challenges improper service. This is the time when you take over control of the UD case. Just by filing it, the tenant can add a minimum of 18 days to your time of possession. If the tenant wins, the landlord has to re-serve the Summons and Complaint. If the landlord wins, the tenant will have to file an Answer to the Complaint right away.

Demurrer: It is filed by the tenant to say the Complaint doesn’t include all the facts or legal requirements to prove they should be evicted. A Demurrer can delay the case by a few weeks, and if the tenant wins, the landlord might have to start the case all over or even have to give the tenant a new Notice.

Motion to Strike: It is used when a complaint requests relief or damages that are not supported by the allegations of the complaint or it is not verified as required by law.

If you lose your eviction case, you need to move out (at the latest) 5 days after the sheriff posts a Notice to Vacate on your door. If you need more time to move, you can ask the court for a stay of execution. You will need to show the court that you have a good reason for needing more time.
