Frequently Asked Questions:

What is commercial eviction?
Commercial eviction is the legal process of removing a commercial tenant who has failed to pay rent or has violated the lease agreement.
What are the most common reasons for a commercial eviction?
- Nonpayment of rent
- Lease violations
- Illegal use of the property
- Holding over after the lease expires
How long does a commercial eviction take in California?
Timelines vary depending on whether the tenant contests the eviction, court availability, and other factors.
Can I change the locks or shut off utilities to force a tenant to leave?
No. "Self-help" evictions are generally prohibited and landlords should follow the legal process.
What happens if the tenant refuses to leave after the court orders eviction?
Our office works diligently to obtain a writ of possession, which directs the Sheriff to "lock out" the tenant and force the tenant to leave.
Can I recover unpaid rent and costs?
Generally, yes. Landlords may seek unpaid rent, attorney's fees (if allowed by the lease), among other costs.
Why should I hire an attorney for a commercial eviction?
Procedural mistakes can delay the process, increase costs, and jeopardize the case. Our office has seen it one too many times.
