A clear, step-by-step breakdown of what happens — and what it costs — from the first notice to getting your property back.
Total cost includes all document preparation, filing coordination, and process serving fees. Court filing fees are additional and set by the county.
Serve the Eviction Notice
We prepare the correct notice for your situation — 3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit, 30-Day, 60-Day, or 90-Day Notice to Terminate — and professionally serve it on the tenant. Proper service is legally required and starts the clock on the eviction timeline.
Wait for the Notice Period to Expire
The tenant has the notice period to comply — pay rent, fix the violation, or vacate. If they do not comply by the deadline, we move immediately to the next step.
Prepare & File the Unlawful Detainer
We prepare the unlawful detainer complaint, summons, and all required Judicial Council forms, then electronically file them with the Superior Court. We coordinate service of the summons and complaint on the tenant.
Tenant Has 5 Days to Respond
After being served the UD, the tenant has 5 business days to file a response with the court. If they do not respond, we prepare a Request for Default and Default Judgment on your behalf.
Obtain Judgment & Writ of Possession
Once the court enters judgment in your favor, we prepare and file the Writ of Possession — the document that authorizes the sheriff to remove the tenant from the property.
Sheriff Lockout
We coordinate with the county sheriff's office to schedule the lockout. The sheriff posts a 5-day notice on the property, then returns to physically remove the tenant if they have not vacated.
