Eviction rules that apply in Perris

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

  • Perris has its own Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (reported as Ordinance No. 1469, 2026) on top of state law. See the Perris 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.

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

How we handle a Perris 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 Riverside 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.

Perris eviction questions

How long does an eviction take in Perris?

After the notice period ends, an uncontested eviction in Riverside County usually takes several weeks: the tenant has 10 court days to respond after being served, then the landlord can request a default judgment and the writ of possession, and the sheriff schedules the lockout. A contested case that goes to trial takes longer.

How much does an eviction attorney cost in Perris?

Online eviction notices are $150, and our filing packet for landlords who file the case themselves is $850. If you want an attorney to represent you, we quote a flat fee after a case review. Contested cases are also quoted after a case review. Court filing, process server and sheriff fees are paid separately.

Does Perris have rent control or just cause eviction rules?

Yes. Perris has its own Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (reported as Ordinance No. 1469, 2026), in addition to state law. The notice and the reason for the eviction must follow both.

Which court handles evictions for Perris rental properties?

Unlawful detainer cases for Perris properties are filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. The courthouse depends on where the property is located, and most filings are made electronically.
