Firearm Discharge Eviction Defense

Summary

Accidental firearm discharge in an apartment can lead to eviction. In California, landlords can evict for property damage, but must serve a 3-day notice to repair or quit. If the damage is not fixed, they can file for eviction. Review your lease, offer to repair the damage, and consult a local attorney if served with an eviction notice.
