Most uncontested matters move from the initial notice to a completed lockout in a matter of weeks, though timing depends on court and sheriff scheduling by county.
No. Self-help evictions are illegal in California regardless of how clear the default is. Only the sheriff, acting on a writ of possession, may physically remove a tenant.
The process is the same, though service and default procedures differ slightly for entity tenants. We confirm the correct registered agent before filing.
Property valued under $2,500 (or one month’s rent, whichever is greater) can be kept, donated, or discarded once the reclaim window closes. Higher-value property generally must go to public auction.
A written lease makes the case straightforward, but a tenancy can also arise from a verbal or expired lease continuing month-to-month.
The moment a tenant files any response to the complaint — an answer, demurrer, or motion to quash service — the case moves off the uncontested track.
Back rent, additional rent such as CAM charges, holdover damages, and — where the lease provides for it — attorney’s fees and costs.
