Bad laws for landlording in CA
Do you guys have any issues evicting in California? I live in AZ and it takes 2-3 weeks here to evict. Ive heard it can take years in California to evict somebody. Do you guys have any issues with evictions? Or tenants who are not paying?

In San Diego most established landlords will not accept a tenant that has ever been evicted. Therefore the tenants know if they are evicted they will forever have a hard time finding a rental. This helps the tenants want to not get evicted.
We have served eviction notices but never have had to evict. Maybe we have been lucky or maybe we screen our tenants well or maybe some of both.
My point is with the vacancy rate being so low, tenants do not want an eviction on their record as it will forever impact their ability to rent.
