Eviction
When a landlord wants to remove a tenant from the landlord’s rental property, they complete a civil process known as eviction. A landlord may evict a tenant if the tenant stops paying rent, breaches the rental agreement, or for other reasons permitted by law. Landlords requiring evictions in Turlock, California, must adhere to strict laws. They must inform the tenant that they are being evicted and why and how many days before the process will begin. They must inform the tenant with a notice.
