In Orange County, California, we have a fancy legal term for evictions:  Unlawful detainers.    AnOrange County Unlawful Detainerd now they’ve gone electronic!   

But not all electronic filings are created equal.  

Unlike regular civil cases, evictions are given priority in the court system.    If all goes well, a property owner can expect a trial in a matter of weeks.    But the fast track to judgment has a price.   Not in dollars, but in sense.     In California, the unlawful dOrange County Unlawful Detainer Attorneyetainer is a foreboding and strict creature.    The slightest mistake may cause a do-over.     

Because we are a land that bends over backward for tenants, property owners must handle these cases with hyper vigilance.     Staying abreast of local, municipal and state rules is critical.

As of January, 1, 2013, Orange County evictionSouthern California Eviction Services must be processed electronically.  It’s mandatory!     

Having handled dozens of these trials in 22 years, this change is delaying access to the judicial system and causing extra expense.     Maybe it’s a growing pain.    I suppose time will tell.

Evictions are closely tied to short sales, foreclosures, and investment property.   In my view, real estate agents should have a rudimentary understanding of the process and a finger on the pulse of recent developments.     It’s not a fun part of real estate, to be sure.

May be we should call them Awful Detainers!
