The California Landlord's Law Book: Evictions: Evictions -- Nils Rosenquest, Paperback

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.
