Eviction rules that apply in Burbank

Burbank has local tenant protections in addition to state law. The strictest rule that applies is the one you must follow.

  • Burbank has its own Tenant Protection Ordinance on top of state law. See the Burbank tenant protections section below and the city's official page before raising rent or serving any notice.
  • 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.

Burbank eviction cases are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. We handle nonpayment of rent, lease violations, holdover tenants, owner move in and other no fault terminations, and commercial evictions for Burbank owners and property managers.

Burbank tenant protection rules

Burbank's Tenant Protection Ordinance in brief:

  • There is no city rent cap; the state rent cap applies to most older buildings.
  • Most no fault evictions require relocation assistance, and the ordinance includes anti harassment and anti retaliation rules.

Rates and forms change every year. For the current allowable increase, registration rules and the full ordinance, see the city's official page.

How we handle a Burbank 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 Los Angeles 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.
