Instructions For Unlawful Detainer WHEN TO USE THIS PACKET Unlawful Detainer is only one of the legal actions for a landlord to evict a tenant(s) from residential property. These instructions are for landlords without attorneys. This packet is not for commercial tenants, Section 8, or floating homes. If you are not a self-represented landlord of residential property, you should not use this packet and should consult with a private attorney. You can only use this packet if you are the owner of residential property that is leased/rented to another person(s). This packet is designed for a landlord to evict the tenants in an uncontested unlawful detainer. If you expect your tenant to contest this action, you should seek legal advice from a private attorney. This packet contains information regarding the different types of notices, the various forms, and a general overview of the process of an uncontested Unlawful Detainer action. The self-represented landlord should be cautious because if the procedure is not followed, the landlord can be subject to liability and/or have the case dismissed. Consult with a private attorney before you proceed with this packet. SHP-25 R09-19

UNLAWFUL DETAINER Definition Of Unlawful Detainer An Unlawful Detainer is only one of the legal actions for a landlord to evict a tenant(s) from rental property. These instructions are for landlords without attorneys and are not for commercial tenants or Section 8. If you are attempting to evict a commercial tenant or Section 8 residential tenant, please seek advice from an attorney (see “referrals” below). The following information is for uncontested unlawful detainers. Uncontested means that your Tenant does not file an Answer (or other responsive document) to the court action. Contested means the Tenant files an Answer (or other responsive document) to the court case. Unlawful Detainer actions can be complicated and the requirements are strict. If the procedure is not correctly followed, the landlord may be sued and/or the court may dismiss the action. The Fresno Superior Court Self-Help Center recommends seeking legal advice from an attorney. Who Can Sue The landlord, successor, or property management company (if there is a written agreement with the owner to sign the lease) may file an Unlawful Detainer action. If the landlord is a corporation, the corporation may not represent itself and must hire an attorney. How To Get Started Before a landlord can bring a court action to evict the tenant(s), the landlord must have the tenant(s) properly served with notice. Below are the different types of notices. Notice forms must be written and state the complete address of the property. If the notice gives the tenant an option of complying with a condition (such as paying rent or vacating the premises), the notice must contain the name, telephone number, address, name of the person authorized to receive payment, hours available to receive payment, and method of payment. Notices are available at large stationary stores, or can be prepared by an attorney. 3-day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit: Serve this notice if tenant is violating the agreement. The tenant must correct the problem within three days or move. Example: the agreement states no pets, and tenant now has a dog. The situation must be remedied in the stated three days. If on the fourth day the tenant doesn’t correct the problem, you may file your unlawful detainer action to evict the tenant. 3-day Notice to Quit: Serve this notice if landlord wants tenant to move and there is nothing the tenant can correct to remain on the property. Landlord would use this notice if tenant has sublet the property in violation of the agreement, or if tenant is doing something illegal on the property. If the tenant is doing something dangerous or illegal, you should consult an attorney for advice. 3-day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit: Serve this notice if tenant is not paying rent. Use this notice if you don't necessarily want your tenant to move, but want tenant to pay rent. 30-day Notice of Termination of Tenancy: Serve this notice when the Landlord wants to evict the tenant for any reason. Landlord does not need to state a reason why the tenant must move. NOTE: If there is a lease for a fixed term, please seek legal advice because the landlord may be liable for damages. 60-day Notice to Termination of Tenancy: Serve this notice if the tenant has been in possession of the property for longer than one year and the Landlord wants to evict the tenant for any reason. NOTE : If there is a lease for a fixed term or the tenant has been in possession in excess of one year, please seek legal advice because the landlord may be liable for damages.

UNLAWFUL DETAINER How To Have Tenant(s) Served With Notice The above notices are served on each tenant. A sheriff, registered process server, or any person who is at least 18 years of age, and not a party to the action may complete Service. If the action is contested, a proof of service will not be relied upon at trial to prove the notice to quit was served in accordance with the requirements of law. The testimony of the person who served is required, unless service was made by a sheriff, marshal, or registered process server. Personal Service: Each tenant is served by having someone personally hand the notice to each tenant(s). The person serving the notice must complete a Proof of Service. Substituted Service: If the tenant(s) cannot be found, the server must make at least three attempts to serve the tenant(s). Two of those attempts may be on the same day at different times. If the server is still unable to locate the tenant(s), the server can give the documents to anyone at the residence who is over the age of 18. The server will need the name of that person served for the Proof of Service. The server must then mail a copy of the notice to the tenant(s) at the property address. Posting and Mailing: If the server is unable to find the tenant(s) or anyone else at the property and doesn’t know where the tenant(s) work, then the server can post the notice on the door of the residence and mail the notice to the property address. There must have been at least three documented attempts to personally serve the tenant(s) before serving the notice in this manner. NOTE: If you are attempting to serve the Summons and Complaint by posting and mailing, you must get a court order allowing you to do so. This does not apply to the Notice, only the Summons and Complaint (see below). Where To File If the tenant does not resolve the issue (depending upon the type of notice) after the time stated in the notice has expired, landlord can file an Unlawful Detainer action with the proper court, which is determined by the zip code of the location of the property. What To File Prepare the Summons, Complaint (attach a copy of the notice, proof of service of the notice, and a copy of the lease agreement), and the Civil Case Cover Sheet with copies. The amount of copies required will depend on the amount of tenants. For example, if you had two tenants, you would need the original and three copies. The court will keep the original and return the copies to you. One set of copies is for your records. The other copies are for the tenants (each tenant must be served). You must also provide stamped envelopes to the court (one envelope addressed to “All Occupants” and one additional envelope for each named defendant) addressed to the property address. For example, if there are two tenants residing at the property, you must submit three envelopes. Once the summons and complaint are filed with the court, this matter must be resolved within 45 days (unless the court orders something different) or the court may dismiss your action. Next, the Summons, Complaint, and a blank Answer must be served on each tenant in a manner mentioned above. If you believe there may be other people residing in the residence that are not named in the complaint, you must serve a Prejudgment Claim of Right to Possession. Serving a Prejudgment Claim of

Page 6

UNLAWFUL DETAINER Right to Possession will extend the time you have to wait before proceeding. Please seek legal advice regarding service/procedure when using this notice. You must have the tenant(s) served with the Summons and Complaint within fifteen (15) days from the date the unlawful detainer was filed. A proof of service must be filed with the court (unless the tenant(s) file an Answer). If a Prejudgment claim of Right of Possession was also served (or posted), you must have a proof of service for the Prejudgment claim of Right of Possession. NOTE: If the whereabouts of the tenant are unknown after the filing of the Summons and Complaint and the landlord wants to serve the Summons and Complaint by posting, the landlord must obtain a court order prior to posting and by mailing of the Summons and Complaint, not the notice. If service was performed by posting, the application for “service by posting” must be filed. The Service by posting is a separate packet that may be purchased from the Self-Help Center. What Is Next In The Uncontested Case If the tenant(s) were personally served, the tenant(s) have at least five days to file their Answer to the unlawful detainer. A Landlord cannot file a Request for Entry of Default until at least five days after the date of service (10 days from the date of mailing if a Prejudgment Claim of Right to Possession was also served). The day of service and holidays are not counted. If the fifth (or 10") day falls on Saturday or Sunday or a holiday, the landlord must wait until the 2" business day to file the Request for Entry of Default. If the tenant was served by substituted service or posting and mailing, landlord must give the tenant 10 additional days (plus the time stated in the notice) to respond. You should seek legal advice. Next, prepare your Request to Enter Default, Declaration for Default, Judgment, and Writ of Possession. Once the Writ is issued, you must take the Writ and a letter of instruction to the Sheriff's Department. The sheriff will serve the Writ and the tenant(s) are then given five days before the sheriff will evict the tenant(s). The landlord must be present to change the locks at that time. What is Next In A Contested Hearing If the tenant(s) file an answer or a Prejudgment Claim of Right to Possession, the case will be “at issue” and the parties will have to either agree to new terms or file a Request/Counter Request To Set Case For Trial (form UD-150). The hearing will be held where each party will testify as to the circumstances. The judge will make a decision and a judgment will need to be prepared. Seek legal advice (see below). Referral The Fresno Superior Court Self-Help Center strongly urges you to seek legal advice from an attorney. Please note this office does not represent you or your interests in any matter. If you would like legal advice or to be represented in this or any other matter, please contact a private attorney. The Attorney Referral and Information Service of the Fresno County Bar Association can help refer you to a private attorney who will discuss your case for one half an hour for a fee of $30.00. Their telephone number is (559) 264-0137.

Plaintiff must file this cover sheet with the first paper filed in the action or proceeding (except small claims cases or cases filed under the Probate

Code, Family Code, or Welfare and Institutions Code). (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.220.) Failure to file may result in sanctions.

File this cover sheet in addition to any cover sheet required by local court rule.

If this case is complex under rule 3.400 et seq. of the California Rules of Court, or a collections case under rule 3.740, you must serve a copy of this cover sheet on all other parties to the action or proceeding. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.220.)

Unless this is a collections case under rule 3.740 or a complex case, this cover sheet will be used for statistical purposes only.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET

To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civil Case Cover Sheet contained on pages 1 and 2. This information will be used to compile statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits both a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1, check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action. To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided on page 3 of this form. A cover sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party, its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court. To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 of the California Rules of Court is defined as an action for recovery of money owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $35,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tort damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740. To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the plaintiff's designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that the case is complex.

EJ-130 Plaintiff/Petitioner: CASE NUMBER: Defendant/Respondent:

NOTICE TO PERSON SERVED

WRIT OF EXECUTION OR SALE. Your rights and duties are indicated on the accompanying Notice of Levy (form EJ-150).

WRIT OF POSSESSION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. If the levying officer is not able to take custody of the property, the levying officer will demand that you turn over the property. If custody is not obtained following demand, the judgment may be enforced as a money judgment for the value of the property specified in the judgment or in a supplemental order.

WRIT OF POSSESSION OF REAL PROPERTY. If the premises are not vacated within five days after the date of service on the occupant or, if service is by posting, within five days after service on you, the levying officer will remove the occupants from the real property and place the judgment creditor in possession of the property. Except for a mobile home, personal property remaining on the premises will be sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure section 1174 unless you or the owner of the property pays the judgment creditor the reasonable cost of storage and takes possession of the personal property not later than 15 days after the time the judgment creditor takes possession of the premises.

EXCEPTION IF RENTAL HOUSING UNIT WAS FORECLOSED. If the residential property that you are renting was sold in a foreclosure, you have additional time before you must vacate the premises. If you have a lease for a fixed term, such as for a year, you may remain in the property until the term is up. If you have a periodic lease or tenancy, such as from month to month, you may remain in the property for 90 days after receiving a notice to quit. A blank Claim of Right to Possession and Notice of Hearing (form CP10) accompanies this writ. You may claim your right to remain on the property by filling it out and giving it to the sheriff or levying officer.

EXCEPTION IF YOU WERE NOT SERVED WITH A FORM CALLED PREJUDGMENT CLAIM OF RIGHT TO POSSESSION. If you were not named in the judgment for possession and you occupied the premises on the date on which the unlawful detainer case was filed, you may object to the enforcement of the judgment against you. You must complete Claim of Right to Possession and Notice of Hearing (form CP10) and give it to the sheriff or levying officer. A blank form accompanies this writ. You have this right whether or not the property you are renting was sold in a foreclosure.

(2) plaintiff received or has a pending application for rental assistance from a governmental rental assistance program or some other source for rent accruing since the notice to pay rent or quit. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 50897.1(d)(2)(B) and 50897.3(e)(2).) (3) plaintiff's demand for possession is based only on late fees for defendant's failure to provide landlord payment within 15 days of receiving governmental rental assistance. (Health & Saf. Code, § 50897.1(e)(2)(B).)

n. Plaintiff violated a local COVID-19–related ordinance regarding evictions (briefly state facts describing this in item 3t).
o. The property is covered by the federal CARES Act and the plaintiff did not provide 30 days' notice to vacate.
(Property covered by the CARES Act means property where the landlord
is participating in a covered housing program as defined by the Violence Against Women Act (34 U.S.C. § 12491(a));
is participating in the rural housing voucher program under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949
(34 U.S.C. § 12491); or
has a federally backed mortgage loan or a federally backed multifamily mortgage loan.)
p. Before October 1, 2025, plaintiff improperly applied payments made by defendant in a tenancy that was in existence
between March 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021 (Code Civ. Proc., § 1179.04.5), as follows (check all that apply):
(1) Plaintiff applied a security deposit to rent, or other financial obligations due, without tenant’s written agreement.
