Understanding Evictions in San Diego County

As a landlord in San Diego County, it's essential to navigate the eviction process with a clear understanding of both local and state regulations. Evictions can be initiated for reasons such as non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or illegal activity on the property.

Key Steps in the Eviction Process:

Notice: Before an eviction can occur, landlords must provide tenants with a proper notice, typically a 3-day notice for non-payment or a day or 60-day notice for lease termination, depending on the duration of tenancy and the reason for eviction.

Filing: If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, the next step is to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

Court Process: Both parties will have the opportunity to present their case in court. It’s crucial for landlords to have all necessary documentation and evidence in order.

Resolution: If the court rules in favor of the landlord, a writ of possession will be issued, and the sheriff will enforce the tenant's removal if necessary.
