Notice Of Order To Show Cause {LACIV240}

LACIV240, NOTICE OF ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (Unlawful Detainer). This Los Angeles Superior Court form is used in an Unlawful Detainer case. An Unlawful Detainer case is a legal action that is filed by a landlord against a tenant who has remained on the property beyond the expiration of their lease or rental agreement, or who has violated the terms of their lease or rental agreement. The LACIV240 is served on the tenant by the landlord or the landlord's attorney. It informs the tenant that the landlord has filed an Unlawful Detainer action against them and that they are required to appear in court on a specific date and time to show cause as to why they should not be evicted from the property. If you receive a LACIV240 Notice of Order to Show Cause in an Unlawful Detainer case, it is important to take the notice seriously and to consult with an attorney if you have any questions or concerns. Failing to appear in court on the specified date and time may result in a default judgment being entered against you, which could lead to your eviction from the property.
