Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
In the state of California, can I immediately get evicted if I don’t pay my rent on time. My rent is due on the 1st but I won’t have it until the 10th. There is a late fee that gets added after 24 hours but if I pay that as well could I still be evicted

The clock on eviction does not begin running when the rent is due, but rather when the landlord serves a notice to "pay rent or quit," in other words to pay rent or move out. Once that is served on you, however, the landlord can file an eviction case any time after three days.
