Please have the following available when we follow up:
- Copy of the current lease or rental agreement

- Full address of the rental property
- Record of rent payments (or non-payments)
- Copy of any notice(s) already served to the tenant

- Any written communications with the tenant about the issue
If you've already served a notice, bring a copy — the date and method of service are important for the paperwork.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start an eviction in California?
It starts with serving the correct written notice (for example, a 3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit), and if the tenant doesn't comply, filing an unlawful detainer case. We prepare the notice and the court forms at your direction — getting them exactly right matters, because a single error can force you to restart the whole process.
How long does an eviction take?
An uncontested California unlawful detainer often resolves in roughly 30–45 days, but a mistake in the notice or paperwork can add weeks or restart the clock. Correct documents are the single biggest thing you control — which is what we prepare.
Do you serve the tenant or go to court for me?
No. We prepare the documents; you file them and arrange service as required. We are not attorneys and don't provide legal representation — but we make sure every form is complete and correctly formatted for the court.
How much does eviction paperwork cost?
A flat document-preparation fee, quoted up front after your free intake — a fraction of attorney rates, separate from the court's filing fee. If you have a time-sensitive situation, tell us and we'll prioritize it.
