California Unlawful Detainer Timeline Calculator

Work out the dates in a California eviction: when a notice expires, when an Answer is due, and how the schedule runs from there.

What this covers

• Three-day notice periods, counted in court days and excluding the day of service (Code of Civil Procedure section 1161)
• Thirty-day and sixty-day notices to terminate a tenancy
• The five-day window to respond to an unlawful detainer complaint (section 1167)
• How the method of service changes the count
• Trial setting on a preference basis once a request is filed

Local rent-control and just-cause ordinances, including in Los Angeles, add requirements on top of state law.
