    Default Are 30 Day Notices Considered an Eviction

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: California

    I have a few questions regarding three separate 30 day notices I was given at three different apartment complexes over a 5 year span. All of them were in Contra Costa County which is a non rent-controlled county.

    Apt #1) Shortly after my 1 year lease ended in 1997, I was given a "30 day notice to quit" when I had a "domestic disturbance" call involving the police (supposedly placed by a neighbor) at my apartment. No arrests were made.

    Apt #2) Again, shortly after my 1 year lease ended in 1998, I was given another "30 day notice to quit" because the apt complex was converted to HUD housing and my income was too high.

    Note: Several years later, a class action was filed and won by a coalition of former tenanats of this apartment complex. As a result, I received a lump sum for being given a 30 day notice unjustly.

    Apt #3) Again, shortly after my 1 year lease ended in 1999, I was given another "30 day notice to quit" after I had an altercation with a neighbor. The police were called and I ended up getting arrested on a minor drug charge.

    Note: Isn't it ironic that I always managed to get 30 day notices at exactly the same time - exactly one year after the one year lease ended? I have lived in 2 different apartments for a total of 15 years in another county - Alameda County (a rent controlled county, BTW) and NOT ONE 30 day notice - ever! (Hmmm...seems a little fishy?!?!)

    Anyways, my questions are:

    1) Are any of these three 30 day notices considered an "eviction"?
    2) Would they show up in any court records; or perhaps, in a background search done in a pre-employment screen or a tenant screen?

    I'd really appreciate any insight on this. Thanks.

    The only people who would be able to tell you what is on those tenant screening sites, are landlords who access that information.

    If all you were served were 30 day notices, then none of them is an eviction. The eviction comes after the 30 day notice, then on the 31st day, the landlord has the ability to go to the court and start an unlawful detainer (an eviction case).
