Our Services
Every Step of the Eviction Process — Handled.
From the first notice to the final judgment, Rapid Eviction Services manages every document, filing, and court requirement so you don't have to.
Pay or Quit Notices
The Legally Required First Step
Before any eviction can proceed in California, the landlord must serve the tenant with a properly formatted notice. We prepare and serve all California-compliant notices — 3-Day, 30-Day, 60-Day, and 90-Day — with the exact language required by law.
Note: An improperly served or worded notice is the #1 reason evictions get dismissed. We get it right the first time.
What's Included
- 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit
- 3-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit
- 3-Day Notice to Quit (no-cure violations)
- 30-Day and 60-Day Notices to Vacate
- 90-Day Notices (Section 8 / subsidized housing)
- Proper service documentation for court use
Unlawful Detainer Filings
Court-Ready Documents, Filed Correctly
Once the notice period expires without compliance, we prepare and file the Unlawful Detainer complaint with the appropriate Superior Court. Every document is prepared to California Judicial Council standards and filed with Tulare or Kings County Superior Court.
Note: We file with both Tulare County Superior Court (Visalia) and Kings County Superior Court (Hanford) — no learning curve, no delays.
What's Included
- UD-100 Complaint preparation and filing
- Summons preparation (UD-105)
- Civil Case Cover Sheet (CM-010)
- Proof of Service documentation
- Filing fee coordination
- Court copy management and case tracking
Process Serving
Proper Service That Holds Up in Court
Tenant service must follow strict California Code of Civil Procedure requirements. We coordinate professional process serving to ensure your summons and complaint are served correctly — and that the proof of service is court-ready.
Note: Defective service voids your case. We use registered process servers and document every attempt to protect your filing.
What's Included
- Personal service on tenants
- Substituted service when tenant is unavailable
- Nail-and-mail service as permitted by law
- Registered process server coordination
- Proof of Service (POS-010) preparation
- Service attempt documentation
Default & Judgment Documents
When Tenants Don't Respond
If the tenant fails to respond to the UD complaint within the legal timeframe, you're entitled to a default judgment. We prepare all required documents to request the default and obtain a judgment for possession — and past-due rent when applicable.
Note: Most uncontested evictions reach judgment within 20–30 days of filing. We keep your case moving.
What's Included
- Request for Entry of Default (UD-100)
- Declaration for Default Judgment (UD-116)
- Judgment for Possession preparation
- Money judgment for unpaid rent
- Writ of Possession preparation
- Coordination with court clerk for entry
Writ of Possession & Lockout
The Final Step — Regaining Your Property
Once judgment is entered, we prepare the Writ of Possession and coordinate with the Sheriff's department for enforcement. This is the final legal step that physically removes the tenant and restores possession of your property.
Note: Only the Sheriff can physically remove a tenant in California. We handle all the paperwork and coordination to make it happen.
What's Included
- Writ of Possession (EJ-130) preparation
- Sheriff's department coordination
- Lockout scheduling assistance
- 5-Day Notice to Vacate (Sheriff's notice)
- Post-lockout documentation
- Guidance on property re-entry procedures
Contested Case Document Support
When Tenants Fight Back
When a tenant files a response or raises defenses, the case becomes contested and moves to a court hearing. We prepare all required response documents, trial briefs, and evidence packages to support your case — though we recommend consulting an attorney for contested hearings.
Note: We prepare your documents and evidence package. For the hearing itself, we recommend a licensed California eviction attorney — we can refer you to trusted local counsel.
What's Included
- Response to tenant's answer preparation
- Request to Set Case for Trial (UD-150)
- Evidence and exhibit organization
- Trial brief preparation
- Continuance request documents
- Attorney referral coordination when needed
