Get help finding the Right Landlord Tenant Lawyer for your case
According to California law, a landlord has the right to evict a tenant with proper notice. Typically, the landlord must give 30 or 60-day notice of eviction to the tenant. However, if a tenant breaks certain terms of the rental contract, a landlord may only have to serve them with a three-day eviction notice.
Three-day eviction notices can be given if the tenant:
The three-day eviction notice must include an option to correct the violation (ie: pay unpaid rent, fix damages, etc) if the violation is correctable. If the tenant does not rectify the violation, or the situation cannot be rectified and the tenant refuses to vacate the property in the three-day time frame, a landlord may then evict the tenant after filing an unlawful detainer lawsuit with the Court.
Three-day eviction notices can effectively force a tenant to move out and vacate their home. This can leave an individual or family in a dire situation without a home very quickly. If the landlord files an unlawful detainer lawsuit against the tenant, it will stay on the tenant's credit report, possibly harming their ability to rent any other property in the future.
There are a variety of ways that you can respond to a three-day eviction notice with the help of a lawyer. If you can fix the violation you are accused of (such as not paying your rent), a lawyer will contact the landlord's agent for you and make the necessary arrangements for you to legally pay the overdue rent or fix the situation by the end of the third day, and get the landlord to waive the three-day eviction notice.
If you believe you are being served a three-day eviction notice unlawfully or without just reason, contact an attorney immediately. If you have a proper defense to a landlord's lawsuit against you, an experienced attorney can help you contest the lawsuit. An attorney will properly evaluate your case and fight for your tenant rights if your three-day eviction notice is in any way unlawful, unjust, or served illegally.
