Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Hire an attorney . . . or, you can do it yourself. The process is far too long and involved to describe in a post on this site. You have some options. Most Courts actually now have some information on their website about the procedures for filing an eviction. Before you can file an eviction, however, you need to give the tenant a notice to pay rent or quit. How long that notice needs to be depends on your lease, so review that. Once you have properly served a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, you then file your eviction lawsuit. Again, look on your County Superior Court website (for the County in which you live) and most have some bare-bone instructions.

There are also books available, websites available and other resources. You will have to pay for all of those. In many cases, by the time you find and purchase the resources, have many delays because you possibly did this or that wrong, it is often less expensive to just hire an attorney and get it done right the first time!
