Eviction Services in Cathedral City, CA: Condos, Houses and Voucher Tenancies

Cathedral City lies between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage and houses much of the workforce that keeps the west valley’s resorts, restaurants and hospitals running. Its rentals include houses in the Cove and the Dream Homes neighborhood, country-club condos, apartment complexes along Date Palm Drive, and mobile home parks. 951 Evictions prepares and serves notices, files unlawful detainer cases and arranges lockouts for Cathedral City owners.

Call or text (951) 580-0388 if a tenant is behind on rent, has broken the lease, or will not leave when the tenancy is over.

Where Cathedral City Eviction Cases Are Filed

Cathedral City zip codes 92234 and 92235 are assigned to the Palm Springs Courthouse (3255 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262) for unlawful detainer cases. It is a ten-minute drive up Highway 111 or Ramon Road. Some older references send desert evictions to the Larson Justice Center in Indio; under the Riverside Superior Court’s current order that is not correct. The zip code list is on the court’s Where to File page.

Filing location checked against the court’s published list in November 2026. Courts do reassign case types, so we confirm the venue before every filing.

Evicting a Tenant Who Has a Voucher

A tenant with a Housing Choice Voucher can be evicted for the same at-fault reasons as anyone else, including not paying their share of the rent, damaging the unit, or seriously violating the lease. What changes is the paperwork. The notice has to reflect the tenant’s portion only, a copy goes to the housing authority, and a termination without fault requires 90 days. We explain each scenario in Can You Evict a Section 8 Tenant in Cathedral City, CA?

Condo Rentals and HOA Leasing Limits

Associations in communities such as Desert Princess set minimum lease terms and require owners to register tenants. If you rent for a shorter period than the CC&Rs permit, the HOA’s remedy is against you, not the tenant, and it does not give you grounds to end a lease early. Read the leasing section of the governing documents before signing a seasonal tenant.

State Law Governs Most Tenancies

Cathedral City has not adopted a rent ordinance for apartments and houses. The statewide Tenant Protection Act applies to covered units once the tenant has been there 12 months. Buildings under 15 years old, and individually owned houses and condos whose leases contain the exemption notice, are outside it.

How a Cathedral City Eviction Moves Forward

We begin with the notice: three days for unpaid rent or a correctable violation, 30 or 60 days to end a month-to-month tenancy without fault where that is allowed, and 90 days for subsidized tenancies. If the tenant remains after it expires, we file at the Palm Springs Courthouse and serve the summons. The tenant has 10 court days to respond. After a default or a trial, the Riverside County Sheriff posts a five-day notice to vacate and restores possession. Cathedral City’s own police department does not perform lockouts.

Common Questions From Cathedral City Owners

Does the housing authority have to approve the eviction?

No. The owner decides whether to enforce the lease. The housing authority must be given a copy of the notice, and it will stop its payments once the tenant is out.

My tenant works seasonally and pays late every summer. Can I evict for chronic lateness?

Possibly, but if you have accepted late rent for years you should first give written notice that the due date will be enforced. Then a 3-day notice for the next missed payment is on firm footing.
