About this book
Your step-by-step guide to evicting a problem tenant in California
Sooner or later, nearly every residential landlord has to evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent, property damage, an illegal sublet (including Airbnb), or another violation of the lease or the law.
You don't always need to hire a lawyer, but you do need reliable information, particularly if your property is under rent control. Here, you'll find all of the downloadable forms you need along with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to:
- prepare nonpayment of rent notices
- prepare 3-, 30-, 60-, and 90-day notices
- complete and serve all required eviction forms
- deal with tenants' delaying tactics, and
- file your "unlawful detainer" complaint in court.
Just filing an eviction lawsuit often prompts the tenant to leave. If it doesn't, you'll learn how to:
- handle a contested eviction suit by yourself—and know when to get professional help
- respond to a tenant's defenses and claims
- evict a tenant who has filed for bankruptcy or is occupying property you purchased at a foreclosure sale
- collect unpaid rent after you win.
