There are two answers, each equally true: California statutes tell us the minimum time for an unpaid lender to foreclose: about 4 months, from start to sale. In practice, it's far longer. Since the mortgage meltdown in 2008, lenders very seldom move a foreclosure as fast as the law allows.
Article 9 of the UCC describes the process by which a lender may foreclose on personal property collateral following an event of default. Under Article 9, following a default, a lender may sell, lease, license, or otherwise dispose of any or all the collateral covered by the security agreement.

If you lose in court, a 5-day eviction notice will be posted on your door. Only the Sheriff can do this.
In California, after 18 days have passed once the Notice of Belief of Abandonment has been filed, you are allowed to enter the abandoned property and change locks and security codes.
