California's eviction process is governed by strict procedural requirements. A misstep at any stage — from notice drafting to court filings — can have significant consequences for either party. Baghikian Law Firm handles every stage of the process with precision.
Whether you are a landlord seeking to regain possession of your property or a tenant facing eviction proceedings in Los Angeles, our firm evaluates the full picture before advising on next steps — reviewing notices, lease terms, payment history, and applicable local ordinances.
Types of Eviction Cases We Handle
Los Angeles landlords and tenants encounter a range of grounds for unlawful detainer proceedings. Each matter involves distinct notice requirements, timelines, and legal considerations.
Nonpayment of Rent
The most common basis for eviction proceedings in California. Proper notice preparation and service are essential to a viable case.
Breach of Lease
Lease violations involving unauthorized occupants, pets, subletting, or other conduct may form the basis for eviction proceedings under California law.
Nuisance or Illegal Activity
Certain conduct on the premises may support eviction proceedings that do not allow for an opportunity to cure. These matters often require prompt legal action.
Holdover Tenancy
When a tenancy continues beyond the lease term or after a valid termination notice, unlawful detainer proceedings may be the appropriate legal remedy.
Eviction Defenses Under California Law
California law provides tenants with a range of legal defenses that may affect the outcome of eviction proceedings. Our firm analyzes all potential defenses when evaluating a matter, whether representing landlords or tenants.

Every case follows the same standard of care — meticulous preparation, clear communication, and aggressive advocacy at every stage.
Every case starts with details. We review leases, notices, communications, inspection reports, photos, medical records, and repair history. We build a factual foundation before making any legal moves.
Whether it's habitability, eviction defense, or a landlord dispute — the key is finding pressure points fast. Code violations, improper notice, failure to repair. We find the weaknesses and use them strategically.
We move cases forward — demand letters, motions, negotiations, trial prep. At every stage, you know exactly what's happening, what the risks are, and what comes next. No confusion. No guessing.
Some cases go beyond the immediate dispute. Credit impact, future housing, financial exposure, business reputation. We structure resolutions that protect our clients long after the case is closed.
We had the pleasure of working with Vahe on a complex eviction case, and we couldn't have been happier with the high level of service we received. Vahe's deep expertise and careful attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Not only did he provide clear, practical legal guidance, but he was also a pleasure to work with — always responsive and attentive, making us feel like a top priority. We are truly grateful for his hard work and dedication.
Working with Baghikian Law Firm has been a pleasure and truly a life-saver. Attorney Vahe Baghikian provided tremendous help with my case, offering knowledgeable and attentive representation. He carefully listened to my concerns, clearly explained the process, and continually checked on my well-being. If you are seeking a firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I recommend not looking any further.
We had a tricky situation with a fire inspector who was intent on making our lives difficult. Upon finding Vahe and his firm, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable from the get go. He knew how to approach the situation and handled the entire thing from beginning to end — even going to court on our behalf. The inspector commented that it was handled well. I would highly recommend Vahe and his firm.
