The California Landlord's Law Book: Evictions

Your step-by-step guide to evicting a problem tenant in California Sooner or later, nearly every residential landlord has to evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent, property damage, an illegal sublet, or another violation of the lease or the law. You don't always need to hire a lawyer, but you do need reliable information, particularly if your property is under rent control. Here, you'll find all of the downloadable forms you need along with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to: - prepare nonpayment of rent notices - prepare 3-, 30-, 60-, and 90-day notices - complete and serve all required eviction forms - deal with tenants' delaying tactics, and - file your "unlawful detainer" complaint in court. Just filing an eviction lawsuit often prompts the tenant to leave. If it doesn't, you'll learn how to: - handle a contested eviction suit by yourself--and know when to get professional help - respond to a tenant's defenses and claims - evict a tenant who has filed for bankruptcy or is occupying property you purchased at a foreclosure sale, and - collect unpaid rent after you win.
