COMMON QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE CALIFORNIA EVICTION PROCESS?
In California, eviction is a legal process that requires a court order. Landlords must serve a formal notice to quit, typically a 3 day notice for residential tenancies, before filing a lawsuit. We provide the necessary documentation to ensure you follow all legal steps correctly.

ARE THERE EVICTION FEE WAIVERS AVAILABLE?
Yes, we offer fee waivers for eligible applicants. These waivers are designed to make the legal process more accessible. You can apply for a waiver directly through our center's portal or by contacting our support team at support@instanteviction.com.
DO I NEED A LAWYER FOR THE EVICTION?
While it is not mandatory, having a lawyer can be beneficial. Our center provides a simplified, automated alternative that allows you to handle the paperwork yourself while ensuring all legal requirements are met. We provide the tools to do it right.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I FILE THE EVICTION?
Once you file the complaint, the tenant has the opportunity to respond. If there is no response or if the tenant vacates the premises, the court will issue a judgment of eviction. We provide a clear timeline to help you navigate this phase.
