Legal Notice - Eviction

CALIFORNIA EVICTION NOTICE PREPARATION PACKET

NOT A NOTICE — DO NOT SIGN OR SERVE

This packet gathers facts and current-source research for a California attorney.
It intentionally supplies no notice period, cure amount, termination ground,
required wording, payment address, service method, declaration, court, remedy,
or waiver rule. Those choices depend on the property, tenancy, event, parties,
dates, current state law, and local overlays.

The output is a separate counsel-approved notice. This packet never becomes
the notice and must not be delivered to an occupant.

1. Matter Control

☐ No occupant-facing document will be created or served until counsel completes
the route, wording, timing, attachments, and service instructions.

2. Property and Regulatory Classification

Attach the deed or ownership evidence, lease, amendments, required disclosures,
registration records, program documents, local ordinance research, and prior
notices relevant to classification.

3. Parties and Occupancy

Owner / housing provider

Exact legal name and capacity: [________________________________]

Address and contact route: [________________________________]

Agent or property manager authority: [________________________________]

Occupants

Identify every named tenant, subtenant, assignee, occupant, minor, business,
estate, or unknown-person issue for counsel. This packet does not decide who
must receive or be named in a notice.

4. Tenancy and Document History

5. Proposed Notice Route — Counsel Must Select

6. Facts Supporting the Selected Route

Separate firsthand facts from assumptions, conclusions, hearsay, estimates,
and future events. Do not state a ground merely because it appears in the lease.

7. Nonpayment and Ledger Worksheet — If Applicable

This section supplies no definition of rent, permissible charge, grace period,
payment method, cure amount, or deadline. Counsel must classify every component.

Payments, credits, subsidies, deposits, concessions, refunds, and tenders
reviewed through: [DATE AND TIME]

8. Covenant or Conduct Worksheet — If Applicable

Identify prior knowledge, warnings, accommodation requests, disability-related
facts, domestic-violence or safety issues, retaliation concerns, repair disputes,
protected activity, selective enforcement, and witness credibility for counsel.

9. Timing and Calendar Record

Counsel must calculate the period from the current rule for the selected route,
service method, and calendar. Do not count from a template label.

Attach the calendar, source, and calculation reviewed by counsel.

10. Required Language and Attachments Register

11. Service Planning — Not Proof of Service

This packet supplies no authorized method or sequence. Counsel must identify the
permitted server, attempts, locations, mailing, posting, delivery, proof,
declaration, and record-retention requirements.

No declaration or proof-of-service signature block is included. The actual
server must complete the exact truthful record counsel selects after service.

12. Pre-Drafting Risk Review

☐ Every tenant and occupant issue reviewed

☐ Property and tenancy classification confirmed

☐ State and local coverage, exemptions, and overlays confirmed

☐ Ground and every required fact supported by current evidence

☐ Ledger and demanded amount independently reconciled

☐ Repair, habitability, retaliation, discrimination, accommodation, subsidy,
bankruptcy, foreclosure, military, domestic-violence, and other defenses or
protections reviewed as applicable

☐ Required payment, relocation, agency, language, and attachment steps completed

☐ Timing calculation independently checked

☐ Service route and proof form selected

14. Post-Service Matter Log

Complete only in the matter file after counsel-approved service. This is an
internal log, not a declaration or proof.

Preserve the final notice, all attachments, source material, ledger, calendar,
service instructions, proof, delivery records, communications, payments, and
later events. Do not alter a served notice or proof; route any correction or new
notice through counsel.

15. Final Status

☐ Research packet incomplete — no drafting authorized

☐ Counsel is preparing a separate notice

☐ Separate notice approved; service instructions pending

☐ Separate notice and service instructions approved

☐ Matter returned to counsel because facts, law, dates, or service changed

This packet has no execution or service block. It must never be signed,
posted, mailed, delivered, served, filed, or treated as notice to an occupant.
