The process varies from county to county in California, but in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, and Dan Diego, evictions typically follow a 4-step process:
Notify tenants of their breach and demand possession of the Premises (if necessary);
File a Complaint and Summons (Superior Court);
Obtain a Judgment for Possession from the Judge; and
File a Writ of Possession and have the Sheriff schedule a lock-out.
