In California, an eviction (unlawful detainer) for nonpayment of rent typically takes 30 to 120 days from notice to writ of possession. The notice period for nonpayment is 3 days (Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 1161). Court processing adds 30 to 90+ days depending on county calendar and whether the tenant raises defenses. AB 1482 added just-cause requirements for many no-fault terminations.
