Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Unlawful Detainer

I have a UD on my public record that lists ''Judgement for Possession Only-Real Property Issued'' and then ''Writ Returned'' one month later, however I resolved this issue with the landlord and was never evicted. I gave a regular notice that I had found a new place and moved out a few months later after paying on time each of those last few months. What does this language - ''Judgement for Possession'' and ''Writ Returned'' mean?

Re: Unlawful Detainer

I guess I'm confused a little by your post. It sounds like you are saying that you were never served with the UD? If you were served, and a judgment was entered in the landlord's favor, then it is possible that a writ was issued but not "executed" which means that you were never thrown out. That is probably why it was returned unexecuted. Best thing you can do is go pull the file at the Courthouse and see what happened.
