Eviction Timeline in CA
Submitted by threereasons03 on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 7:27pm.
How long after a foreclosure do you have before you must vacate, and does an eviction notice have to be served. This case was a public auction sale in California.
Comments:
I think it just changed thanks to some recent legislation extending the notice from 5 days to 30, but don't quote me on that. In my experience the entire process usually takes 60 to 90 days. As the owner you REALLY don't want to force them to evict you. They will end up with a judgement against you for rent from the day of the sale, until the day you are out of the house. If you work with them and go they will likely pay you to move and leave the property clean and you'll get to live there rent free for at least a couple more weeks.
A follow up question,
I know a close friend whos house is up for auction in CA this week. They are planning on waiting until an eviction is forced...don't ask me why. Do you have further information on this process or websites I can access that could provide me with this information? I don't think they even know.
Thanks!
Here is a link to information from the CA Department of Consumer Affairs.
Definitely encourage them to take the cash and move. There is ZERO chance they can win the eviction unless they started a separate lawsuit to set aside the sale and won that (highly unlikely, expensive and time consuming). And unless they plan to move in with you they will need to find a place to rent, and a recent eviction is going to make that really hard.
