Eviction rules that apply in Anaheim

  • The statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) applies to most rentals older than 15 years: just cause is required once a tenant has lived there 12 months, and annual increases are capped at 5% plus inflation (10% maximum), unless the lease contains the exact exemption notice the law requires.
  • Since 2025 a 3 day notice must state the exact start and end of the notice period, exclude weekends and court holidays, give a real payment address, and say the landlord will retake possession (Eshagian v. Cepeda).
  • Tenants now have 10 court days to respond to an unlawful detainer (AB 2347), so plan on roughly an extra week compared with the old 5 day rule.
  • Anaheim relies on state law rather than a local rent control ordinance, so the Tenant Protection Act governs just cause and rent increases for most older buildings.
  • Mobile home parks in Anaheim follow the separate Mobilehome Residency Law, which has its own notice periods and grounds for termination.

Common Anaheim matters include unpaid rent, unauthorized occupants, nuisance cases, and holdovers after a sale or foreclosure.

How we handle a Anaheim eviction

  1. Review. We confirm which state and local rules cover the unit, check the lease and the rent ledger, and identify the right notice.
  2. Notice. We prepare the notice (3 day, 30, 60 or 90 day) with the exact dates and content the law requires, and arrange proper service.
  3. Lawsuit. If the tenant does not pay or move, we file the unlawful detainer in the Orange County Superior Court and have the tenant served.
  4. Default or trial. If there is no response within 10 court days we request a default judgment; if the tenant answers we request a trial date and handle settlement talks and the trial.
  5. Lockout. After judgment we obtain the writ of possession and coordinate the sheriff lockout so you get the property back.
