important details

you may never forcibly evict a tenant without going through the formal tenant eviction process.

once you give notice to the tenant(s), you must wait until the notice period is up to see if the tenant does what the notice asks within the time allowed. if the tenant does not comply, you can file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court to evict the tenant. if the tenant does what the notice requires (like pay past due rent in full), then you cannot file an unlawful detainer lawsuit.

if the notice is not correctable, such as 3-day notice to quit or a 30, 60, or 90 day notice to quit (move out), you can file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court when the notice period ends.

if you end up having to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit, make sure you file your eviction case in the right superior court. california superior courts are broken up into different jurisdictions, and you must file in the correct jurisdiction. to find out where to file your lawsuit, enter the rental property address zip code at: www.courts.ca.gov/find-my-court.htm.

if this notice concerns a property in san francisco, you must attach a separate notice from the san francisco residential rent stabilization and arbitration board when you deliver this notice to the tenant(s). this can be found at http://sfrb.org/sites/default/files/document/form/1007%20notice%20to%20tenant%20req%27d%20by%2037.%209%28c%29-eng-sp-ch-viet-rus-tag.pdf.
