Alhambra Evictions Attorney for Landlords

June 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Landlords in Alhambra and surrounding communities often rent out their property to tenants for additional income and investment purposes.  Sometimes, the Alhambra landlord owns the property outright, but more often, the landlord owes a mortgage on the property which he must pay each month.  Alhambra landlords often rely on the income received by the tenant in order to pay for the mortgage.  This makes for a difficult and unpleasant situation when the Alhambra tenant suddenly stops paying the rent, even when a fixed-term lease is in place.

The Law Office of David Piotrowski assists landlords with Alhambra evictions.  The primary goal of an Alhambra eviction is to get possession of the property back into the hands of the landlord.  The Alhambra evictions process works as follows:

1. The tenant fails to pay the landlord.
2. A "3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit" is issued.
3. If the tenant fails to pay within the specified time period, then an Unlawful Detainer (eviction) lawsuit is filed against the tenant in the Alhambra or nearby courthouse that handles evictions for that area.
4. The eviction lawsuit is served on the tenant at the Alhambra house.
5. If the tenant fails to respond within 5 calendar days to the Alhambra eviction lawsuit (or slightly longer if the tenant cannot be personally served), then the landlord will seek a default judgment.  If the tenant responds within the 5 days, then a court date may be set to argue the case in the Alhambra courthouse.
6. When the landlord “wins” the case, the proper forms will be filed and submitted to the sheriff who will forcibly remove the tenant from the property if the Alhambra tenant does not voluntarily move.
7. Once the landlord has the property back in his possession, the landlord can change the locks and rent the house to new tenants.
