Since the pandemic, the laws of eviction have become more been volatile and complicated. As mortgage rates have fallen, many immigrants and local residents have invested in residential properties throughout Southern California. Many of them have chosen to rent their homes to tenants to earn income. However, California law strictly prohibits self-help evictions, meaning that landlords are not allowed to evict tenants on their own by shutting off electricity, water, or changing the locks. Instead, landlords must go through the legal procedures of eviction called “Unlawful Detainer”: from issuing the Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit, to filing the UD complaint at the local courthouse, and to conducting the final lockout performed by the Sheriff, the entire process could take up to 2-3 months, or even longer (see flowchart below). This is why finding a professional eviction attorney can be critical. Since 2017, our firm has successfully represented hundreds of landlords in eviction proceedings throughout Southern California (including Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, and San Bernardino). We have a team of highly experienced attorneys and paralegals who can help landlords evict their tenants efficiently and satisfactorily.
