Deferred Judgment In Eviction

Summary

A deferred entry of judgment in a California eviction case allows tenants time to meet conditions like paying overdue rent. If conditions are unmet, eviction proceeds, and the landlord gains possession. Tenants can reclaim personal property within 18 days if left behind. A writ of possession allows landlords to reclaim the property, but they cannot seize tenant property located elsewhere. For back rent, landlords may obtain a money judgment but cannot take personal property. Tenants can pay landlords directly or as specified by the court. To check for criminal charges in California, contact local courthouses, law enforcement, or request a background check from the California DOJ, requiring fingerprints and a fee.
