Frequently asked questions

Unlawful Detainer Questions We Hear Often

Can I evict a tenant myself without a lawyer?
You can legally file without an attorney, but unlawful detainer cases are procedurally strict — a single defect in the notice or proof of service can get a case dismissed or delayed by weeks. Many landlords hire an attorney specifically to avoid that risk.
How long does it take to evict a tenant in Los Angeles County?
An uncontested case can move in a few weeks once properly filed, while a contested case with a tenant response can take a few months, especially with court backlogs. Filing a legally sound case from the start is the biggest factor in avoiding delay.
Can I change the locks or remove a tenant's belongings myself?
No. California prohibits self-help evictions, including changing locks, removing belongings, or shutting off utilities to force a tenant out. Doing so can expose a landlord to significant liability, even if the tenant is genuinely behind on rent.
What if the tenant is in a rent-controlled unit?
Rent-controlled units in Glendale and elsewhere in Los Angeles County often require a valid just-cause reason for eviction, not just the end of a lease term. Filing without confirming just-cause compliance is a common way landlords lose otherwise valid cases.
