Frequently Asked Questions
At A Plus Eviction Service, we take pride in helping property owners regain control of their investments through professional eviction services. Our experienced team is committed to guiding you through every step of the eviction process efficiently and legally.
How long does the eviction process take?
The typical uncontested eviction process in California takes approximately 30-45 days from start to finish. This includes serving the initial notice (3-day, 30-day, or 60-day), filing the unlawful detainer, obtaining a judgment, and coordinating with the Sheriff for lockout. However, timing can vary depending on court schedules and whether the tenant contests the eviction. We work diligently to complete the process as quickly as legally possible.
What types of notices do you serve?
We handle all types of eviction notices including 3-Day Pay or Quit, 3-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit, 30-Day Notice to Quit, and 60-Day Notice to Quit. Our team will help determine the appropriate notice for your situation based on factors such as the lease terms, length of tenancy, and reason for eviction.
What happens if the tenant contests the eviction?
If a tenant contests the eviction by filing an answer to the unlawful detainer, we can coordinate with legal counsel for court representation. While this may extend the timeline, we continue to manage the process and ensure all necessary documentation is properly filed. We can recommend experienced eviction attorneys if needed.
Do you handle commercial evictions?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial evictions throughout Southern California. Our team is experienced with the unique requirements of commercial property evictions, including different notice requirements and legal procedures specific to commercial tenancies.
How do I get started with the eviction process?
Getting started is simple. Contact us by phone or through our website for a free consultation. We'll review your situation, explain the process, and outline the next steps. Once you decide to proceed, we provide experienced eviction attorneys for your initial hearing. If your case goes to jury trial, additional attorney fees will be charged.
What documentation do I need to provide?
To begin the eviction process, we typically need: 1) A copy of the lease agreement, 2) Rent ledger or payment history showing any amounts owed, 3) Any correspondence with the tenant regarding lease violations, 4) Property ownership documentation, and 5) Any relevant notices previously served. Our team will review your documentation and let you know if anything additional is needed.
Do you serve notices on weekends and holidays?
Yes, we understand that timing is crucial in eviction cases. We offer notice service seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, to ensure your eviction process starts as quickly as possible. However, court filings can only be processed during regular court business hours.
