What to expect in California

AB 1482 screening on every case

Just-cause coverage is determined before any notice is selected. Covered breach cases get the required two-notice sequence automatically.

The 2025 answer window, handled

Tenants now have 10 court days to respond (AB 2347). Our deadline engine tracks court days, not calendar days — another common DIY dismissal.

CARES Act + SCRA checks

Federally backed mortgage screening and servicemember verification before any default judgment, on every case.

Where we file

Riverside, San Bernardino, Sacramento, Orange, and most non-rent-controlled jurisdictions online today.

Not yet available online: City of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley (local rent stabilization and right-to-counsel ordinances). These need case-specific review — contact us and an attorney will quote it directly.

Court costs in major counties

These are the courts’ charges, not ours — itemized at checkout for your exact county and passed through at cost.
