Our Eviction Defense & Eviction Help Services
At Stop Eviction Consultants, we prepare and file legal court documents to help tenants in California protect their homes or gain more time to prepare for relocation
Unlawful Detainer Response
An unlawful detainer case moves quickly in California, and tenants often have only five court days to file a response after being served. If no response is filed in time, the landlord may obtain a default judgment, resulting in rapid eviction. At Stop Eviction Consultants, we prepare and file the required Answer to make sure your side is presented before the court. We make certain your paperwork is timely and positioned to give you a fair chance to defend your tenancy.
3-Day Notice Guidance
Many eviction cases begin with a 3-Day Notice to pay rent or quit. These notices are technical, and any error or misunderstanding can speed up the eviction process. We carefully review the landlord’s notice and prepare the proper Motion and Answer on your behalf. With our guidance, tenants avoid errors that lead to premature lockouts and secure more time to resolve their housing situation.
Stay of Eviction
When the court has already ruled in favor of the landlord and a sheriff lockout is scheduled, tenants may still request a stay of eviction. This emergency measure can temporarily pause the eviction, allowing additional days or weeks to find housing, arrange finances, or secure rental assistance. Our team prepares hardship stay requests quickly, supported by proper documentation, to give you the best opportunity for relief. By acting quickly, we help you delay the enforcement of a Writ of Possession and gain the time you need to move forward under less pressure.
Summons Response Preparation
After receiving an Unlawful Detainer Summons, tenants have only a narrow window (typically five to ten court days) to file a response. Missing this deadline results in a default judgment. We act quickly to prepare the correct legal documents, file them with the court, and properly serve copies to prevent landlords from moving forward without opposition.
Foreclosure Eviction Support
Tenants and former homeowners often face eviction following a foreclosure sale. These cases involve distinct legal procedures and a strict timeline. Stop Eviction Consultants prepares the specific legal court documents that apply to foreclosure-related evictions and files them on time to extend your ability to remain in the property.
Court Filing and Deadline Tracking
Deadlines in eviction cases come fast, and missing even one can result in loss of the case. Our team tracks every due date, from the initial Answer to trial requests and emergency motions. We file documents with the court promptly, serve copies as required, and update clients so nothing is overlooked.
