Which court hears eviction cases for Glendale?
Unlawful detainer cases for Glendale 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 Glendale tenant have to respond to an eviction?
