After you serve your tenant with the Summons and Complaint forms, your tenant has 10 days to file a response with the court (or 20 days if they weren't served in person). Depending on how (and if) they respond, you have some options for next steps.
What is the time frame for a landlord to respond after being notified of an issue with their rental property in California? In CA, “reasonable” time to respond is usually considered 30 days for anything not emergency or habitability and/or safety repairs, like plumbing, heat, etc.
It varies, but generally 30 days. If a tenant just ``walks away'' from his rental, the landlord must store the possessions for 30 days in case the tenant returns and wants his things back. After that, they belong to the landlord to dispose of as he sees fit.
A landlord uses a 30-day Notice to Quit (move out) to end a month-to-month tenancy if the tenant has been renting for less than 1 year. A landlord uses a 60-day Notice to Quit if their tenant has been renting for 1 year or more.
To respond to the eviction case, you start with filling out an Answer or other response forms. Then, you file them with the court. This gives you the chance to tell the judge if there are any legal reasons your landlord can't evict you and tell your side of the story at a court trial.
If you are served with an Unlawful Detainer, get a lawyer or contact a local legal aid organization right away. You only have 5 days from the date you receive an Unlawful Detainer to file a written answer with the court.
