Eviction Services in California
If you’re a landlord and own residential rental property or commercial rental property, you have a lot of responsibilities like maintaining the property and completing any emergency repairs that may arise. You also have to collect rent and utility payments from your tenants. If your tenants are not paying their rent or are not abiding by the conditions in the rental agreement, you have grounds to evict tenants. You may also evict a tenant, for other no fault just cause reasons, according to California law.
The eviction process can be a difficult process if you are not familiar with the legality of eviction. It is important that you hire an experienced Unlawful Detainer Assistant or Landlord Eviction Attorney who is familiar with California laws, as well as the local laws in the city and county the property is located in. Reach out to LDA PRO Legal Document Assistants. We help you prepare, file, and serve all the necessary documents required throughout the entire eviction process for a flat fee.

Just Cause Provisions
Beginning on January 1st, 2020, California Civil Code 1946.2 states that after 12 months, a tenancy can only be terminated for a specific set of reasons. Under the statewide law, there are two different types of just cause eviction: At-Fault and No-Fault. Per local City and County rules, certain types of properties are exempt from just cause eviction rules, however, including a just cause reason is always suggested by the court. Eviction laws change consistently, so it is important to include a just cause reason on the notice. Some common At Fault Just Cause Reasons include:
Tenant not paying rent, tenant not complying with terms of the rental agreement, or tenants causing health and safety issues. Some common No Fault Just Cause Reasons include: Owner or Owner’s Family Member Moving In, Withdrawing from the Rental Market for 12 months, or Owner Intends to Demolish or Substantially Remodel the Premises. The last month’s rent should be waived for most No-Fault Just Cause Reasons, for tenants who have occupied for more than 12 months. It is critical for all notices to have all the required California laws included in the notice and that the notice is served properly, prior to starting the eviction process.
Terminate Tenancy
Termination of Tenancy can be done many ways, depending on the circumstances. The first step and most critical part of the entire process is preparing and serving the notice accurately. Landlords must be sure to not do anything that will make the notice invalid. Common at fault notices that are served include: 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, 3 Day Notice to Perform a Covenant or Quit, and 3 Day Notice to Quit. Common no fault notices that are served include: 30 Day Notice, 60 Day Notice, 90 Day Notice, or 120 Day Notice. Once the tenants are properly served with the correct notice and the tenants have failed to comply with the notice, once the notice has expired, the landlord can file a lawsuit for an Unlawful Detainer.
Above all, we always highly recommend that all landlords hire a professional to prepare and serve the notice to vacate. A landlord should never rely on a notice that has not been prepared and served by a professional. It is very important that a landlord understands the negative impact a faulty notice to vacate can have on the entire eviction process. In most cases landlords will have to re-file the entire complaint and must start the entire process all over again.
Even if a landlord is knowledgeable preparing the required court forms, they may not be up to date with current laws.
