Can an unlawful detainer be used to evict a tenant in every type of living arrangement?

No. The procedures for unlawful detainer cases DO NOT APPLY to:

• A renter in a hotel or motel for a period of less than 30 consecutive days;
• A single lodger in a private residence that is also occupied by the owner of the residence;
• Transitional housing; or
• Mobile home parks or recreational vehicle parks, where special rules apply.
