If you have a tenant who owes you rent in the San Fernando Valley and has not paid you, we can assist you in getting your house back as quicky as possible using legal methods.  The legal proceeding is called an "Unlawful Detainer," also known as an eviction.

Evictions in the San Fernando Valley generally begin when a tenant owes a landlord money due to unpaid rent.  The tenant is served in their San Fernando Valley residence with a "3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit."  If the tenant fails to pay the landlord during this 3 day period, then a lawsuit is filed against the tenant.  The landlord can request from the court to get the property back only, or to get the property back plus money for the unpaid rent.

The eviction process in the San Fernando Valley generally takes 1.5 to 3 months to complete.  Therefore, we suggest contacting us as soon as possible after the tenant does not pay the rent, so that we can serve the 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit on the tenant and start the process of getting your property back in your possession.

The law forbids landlords from using "self-help", i.e., locking out a tenant or removing them by force.  You may only remove a tenant by lawful means as described above.

The eviction process generally goes as follows:

1. The tenant fails to pay the landlord.
2. The landlord issues a "3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit."
3. If the tenant fails to pay within the specified time period, then an Unlawful Detainer (eviction) lawsuit is filed against the tenant.
4. The lawsuit is served on the tenant.
5. If the tenant fails to respond within 5 calendar days to the lawsuit, then the landlord will seek a default judgment.  If the tenant responds within the 5 days, then a court date may be set to argue the case.
6. When your case is "won," the proper forms will be filed and submitted to the sheriff who will forcibly remove the tenant from the property if they do not voluntarily move.
7. Once you have the property back in your possession, you can change the locks and rent the house to new tenants.
