Which notice did you receive?

Every notice has a clock on it.
Here is what yours means.

3-DAY NOTICE

Notice to Pay Rent or Quit

3 days before your landlord can file suit

This is the first step, not the eviction itself. We review the notice for defects and help you respond before it becomes a court case.

Read the 3-day notice guide

SUMMONS + COMPLAINT

Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit

5 court days to file your answer

The lawsuit has been filed. If no response is on file in time, the landlord wins by default. We prepare and file your answer immediately.

How to respond in time

JUDGMENT / LOCKOUT

Notice to Vacate from the Sheriff

Days before lockout, act immediately

Even at this stage there are emergency options, including a stay of eviction request. The sooner you call, the more we can do.

Options after judgment
