How To Fight A Eviction In California
|
Eviction can be described as a process where a landlord compels the tenant to move out of the rented premises. Eviction is something anyone can go through and it is never pleasant.

Sometimes, the landlord does have a valid reason to evict the tenant; while on other occasions the tenant needs to face an eviction due to no fault of his. A 30-day or a 60-day notice to the tenant is just enough to move him out of the place.
When the tenant is reluctant to move out of rental after the notice, the owner can approach the court. However, the landlord cannot force a tenant out of rental using physical force. He needs to apply in the court of law. Once the court finds the tenant guilty, it issues an eviction notice, following which the tenant has to vacate the premises. These eviction notices require the owner to state the reason for eviction. If the tenant does not abide by the eviction notice, a court eviction lawsuit called “unlawful detainer” will follow. Eviction lawsuits in California are often considered to be high priority civil cases as like any other criminal case.
In most cases, tenants do not prefer to fight an eviction case in California primarily due to lack of money for hiring an attorney. However, in many cases, tenants can actually win the lawsuit if presented and defended in a proper way. It is important to document all the complaints, requests and notices made by the landlord and present them in the court. One should never try and intimidate the landlord. This can turn the case in the landlord’s favor. And the most important step is to hire an efficient lawyer to represent the case effectively and efficiently in the court of law. Almost all tenants, who represent themselves in these types of cases, tend to either lose the lawsuit or agree to a bad settlement. So, do not attempt to represent yourself.
