Before the notice
All Anaheim eviction cases are filed at the Orange County Superior Court's Central Justice Center in Santa Ana, about 10 miles south. Filing fees range from $240 to $435 depending on the amount claimed. For non-payment cases, expect the process to take 5-8 weeks from serving the 3-day notice to sheriff lockout if uncontested.
Anaheim has a significant number of multi-family rental properties, particularly in the western and central parts of the city. Landlords near the Disneyland Resort area frequently deal with unauthorized subletting — tenants renting rooms to tourists through short-term rental platforms in violation of their lease. This is grounds for a 3-day notice to perform covenants or quit.
Anaheim adopted a local just cause eviction ordinance in 2022 that applies to certain rental properties built before 1995. If your property falls under this ordinance, you need a qualifying reason to evict — similar to state AB 1482 protections but with some local variations. Before serving notice, confirm whether your property is covered.
For Anaheim landlords with properties near Angel Stadium or the convention center, tenant turnover tends to be higher and lease violation cases are more common than in residential neighborhoods. We see a pattern of tenants abandoning units mid-lease during off-season months, which requires following California's abandoned property procedures before you can re-rent.
