What is a California Eviction Notice?

A California eviction notice is a written notice used by a landlord who needs to terminate a legally binding lease agreement between themselves and the tenant. The purpose of a California eviction notice is to either have the tenant correct a violation of the lease, known as a curable violation, or to tell the tenant they cannot correct the violation and they must leave the property, known as an incurable violation.

All California eviction notices must comply with the state’s landlord-tenant laws. An eviction notice is also known as a notice to quit. This notice must be provided before the landlord may file an unlawful detainer lawsuit (eviction proceeding) against the renter to get the rental unit back under their possession. The judge may issue a default judgment and provide the landlord with a writ of possession for the real estate.
