How to Evict a Tenant in Ventura for Non-Payment of Rent

Have you ever wondered how to evict a tenant in Ventura for non-payment of rent?

Notice to Pay Rent or Quit: 3 days

  1. Create and serve a “3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit.”

    This is a required prerequisite before you can file the actual eviction case in court. The 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit demands that the tenant pay you the rent owed within 3 days.

  2. Wait for the notice period to expire.

    Once the 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit is served on the Ventura tenant for failure to pay the rent, you have to wait 3 days to see whether or not the tenant complies with the notice and pays the rent. If the tenant complies by curing the rent default, there is nothing else to do! If the tenant fails to pay the rent due in Ventura within the 3 day notice period, then once the notice period has expired, it is time to begin the formal eviction process against your Ventura tenant.

  3. Create the Ventura non payment of rent eviction documents.

    These are the court documents that need to be filed when beginning a new eviction case against the Ventura tenant for non-payment of rent.

  4. File the Ventura eviction documents at the Ventura courthouse.

    You’re at the step when it’s time to file the eviction case agains the tenant because the tenant did not pay the rent in Ventura even within the 3 day notice period. The court will assign a case number.

  5. Serve the Ventura tenant with eviction papers due to their failure to pay the rent.

    The Ventura tenant will need to be served with a copy of the eviction paperwork.

  6. Wait to see if your Ventura tenant decides to fight the eviction.

    If the Ventura tenant doesn’t fight the case, you can request a default judgment. If the tenant fights the case, you’ll need to respond accordingly.

  7. Assuming you win your Ventura tenant eviction case…

    Congratulations! Now it is time to obtain a Writ of Possession and submit it to the sheriff. The sheriff will schedule a lockout. The lockout is when you’ll regain possession of your Ventura rental property!
