CALIFORNIA SECURITY DEPOSITS

California Security Deposits in General 
Note: Some cities may have more laws.
The landlord may use the security deposit to pay for the landlord’s expenses if you fail to perform some duty as a tenant (that is, if you default on a tenant obligation). For example, a landlord can use your security deposit if you default by not paying all of your rent before you move out, by damaging the rental unit
beyond normal wear and tear, or by leaving the unit less clean than when you moved in.

EVICTION LAWS IN CALIFORNIA

The CALIFORNIA EVICTION PROCESS: If the tenant doesn't voluntarily move out after the landlord has properly given the required notice to the tenant, the landlord can evict the tenant.

To evict the tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court. In an eviction lawsuit, the landlord is called the "plaintiff" and the tenant is called the "defendant." Find California a  Eviction Attorney

An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a "summary" court procedure. This means that the court action moves forward very quickly, and that the time given the tenant to respond during the lawsuit is very short.
