Habitability claims arise when a rental property has conditions that make it unsafe or unfit to live in.

The timeline for an eviction, also known as an unlawful detainer action, can vary. In California, if everything proceeds without delays, the process can take a few weeks from the time the notice is served. However, if the tenant contests the eviction or court calendars are backed up, the case may take several months.

The eviction process generally begins with a notice to the tenant—such as a three-day notice to pay rent or quit. If the issue isn’t resolved, the landlord may file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in court. The tenant then has a chance to respond, and if the matter isn’t settled, a hearing or trial will be scheduled. If the landlord wins, the court issues a judgment and the sheriff may carry out the eviction.

In California, landlords can evict tenants only for legally valid reasons, such as nonpayment of rent, lease violations, or certain “just cause” reasons under local rent control laws. Proper notice must be given, and the process must follow state and local regulations. Attempting to evict without following the legal steps can result in penalties, so it’s important to consult with an attorney before taking action.
