Eviction Notice Overpayment Issue

Summary

In California, a 60-day no-fault just cause eviction notice is required if youve lived in the property for more than a year. Overpayment of rent and late deposit by the landlord might not automatically void the eviction notice, but it could potentially affect the eviction process. After an unlawful detainer is filed, a summons must be served to the tenant. Contact the clerks office for the status of your case. Consult a local tenants rights organization or attorney for personalized advice.
