FAQs

In California, after serving a three-day notice to pay or quit, if the tenant does not respond, you can file an unlawful detainer action. This process can take a few weeks, but you may be able to obtain a judgment for eviction as soon as the court hearing is scheduled, typically within 20 to 30 days after filing. However, the exact timeline can vary based on court availability and other factors.
