The Superior Court judge does not have the inherent power to conduct an unlawful detainer proceeding. His plenary jurisdiction extends to civil actions only. Unlawful detainer is a creature of the unlawful detainer statutes, and the Superior Court's jurisdiction to conduct a special proceeding to invoke the remedies provided there is conferred by service upon the relevant parties of notices prescribed by the statutes. This power is conferred only by strict compliance with the requirements of the statutes. Near compliance is not good enough. There are but two exceptions to the notice requirement, and they are 1. actions to remove a tenant after the expiration of a fixed term lease; and 2. actions to remove a terminated employee occupying realty as an incident to his employment. Since the credible threat of eviction is the only real lever the landlord has to effect compliance with the rental agreement and prevent damage to his property, it is essential that the landlord understand not only what notices are available, but also how to deliver them. In the main article we discuss each of the notices in detail, how they are used, and how to deliver them. With this information, you can make your eviction notice a foundation for a successful eviction. evictionnoticeasfoundationRegular price: $19.95Sale price: $10.95
