Landlord-Tenant Lawyer in Burbank
Burbank is a media-industry hub with a mix of post-war apartments and newer developments, with renters competing heavily for units near studio lots and the Golden State Freeway corridor.
Baghikian Law serves clients in Burbank and the surrounding Los Angeles County area. We represent both landlords and tenants in eviction and unlawful detainer matters, and we represent tenants in habitability, wrongful-eviction, and rent-control disputes. Our firm brings precision, speed, and consistent communication to every case.
Landlord-tenant law is highly local. Notice requirements, just-cause rules, and rent ordinances differ between jurisdictions, and the details often decide the case. Unlawful detainer matters for Burbank are generally heard at the Pasadena Courthouse, 300 E. Walnut, Pasadena 91101. Burbank enacted Ordinance No. 25-4025 (April 2025), which provides enhanced relocation assistance for no-fault evictions beyond the AB 1482 baseline, but does NOT impose a local rent cap.
We serve renters and owners throughout Burbank, including Magnolia Park, Rancho District, Downtown Burbank, Toluca Lake, and Media District.

An uncontested case in Burbank typically runs 30 to 45 days from service of the unlawful detainer through judgment, plus the sheriff's notice-to-vacate period. A contested case that goes to trial usually takes 60 to 90 days, and local backlogs can add more.
Which court hears eviction cases for Burbank?
Unlawful detainer cases for Burbank are generally filed at the Pasadena Courthouse, 300 E. Walnut, Pasadena 91101. The exact filing location is set by the property ZIP code under the Los Angeles Superior Court local rules.
How many days does a Burbank tenant have to respond to an eviction?
As of 2025, a tenant served with an unlawful detainer summons in Burbank has 10 business days to file a written response. Missing that window can lead to a default judgment, so both landlords and tenants should act quickly.
