Fast Eviction Service - San Bernardino, California

Star F.

I live in a unit that has rodents, cockroaches, a non-working kitchen sink and a nonworking toilet that needs a bucket that is filled from the shower to be flushed. I have undeniable proof that the landlord has knowledge of these defects and has chosen to not repair the unit.

Some of the repairs have been needed for over seven years

In January 2024 I demanded the landlord bring the unit up to the standard of habitability required by law, he did not do so

In September 2024 I sent a list of required repairs as well as a demand for a copy of my initial rental contract, and a copy of several legal forms the landlords are required to provide including a copy of the registration certificate for this unit in the city I live in

I stated that I would begin withhold rent if he did not complete the repairs and provide me the necessary registration information for the unit

In February 2024 the city told the landlord to make some repairs but had not cited all of the repairs. He made no repairs before September 2024 and so when his unlicensed contractor came to make repairs he went downstairs and told the landlord that the toilet was not working and the kitchen sink only had ine working basin- and the landlord told the repair person not to repair anything other than what the city had put on its repair list seven months prior.

In January, after four months of trying to cover his ass, which he still hasn’t completed successfully, the landlord decided to hire this company to pursue eviction against me rather than repairing the unit. I am still flushing my toilet with a bucket because in my particular city you need a permit to replace the toilet and you cannot get a permit unless you are the owner of the property.

This company seems to be completely and totally incompetent in every way they can be. They have opened my Landlord up to a tenant harassment suit that I will be pursuing. Just by hiring this company he has lost a statutory $25,000 minimum

Just off the top of my head here are some of the defects in their pursuit of this eviction

1. Bad 3 day notice-

A. They gave a 3 day notice dated the 17th that they posted on the 18th.

B. This three day notice stated that the place to pay rent was the same address as where the unit is located.

C. stated that the rent could be paid Monday- Sunday between the hours of 9:30 AM and 5 PM. However,

a. for the three day notice period the person who was supposed to be available to collect was not available on a Saturday or a Sunday at the location as given

b. Monday the designated person to collect payment went on vacation out of the state and did not return until the next week.

2. They have multiple problems with their filing of an unlawful detainer including but not limited to the fact that they

A. attached a change in the terms of tenancy to limit the amount of money available to opposing counsel to $500, but you cannot do a change in terms of tenancy during an unlawful detainer action

B. Listed a nonworking phone number under their contact info

C. Stated a fair market value of $39.16 per day for the rental however even if everything else was hunky-dory math says the daily rental amount is $38.63

D. Stated they handed the three day notice to a resident, I have ring camera footage that proves otherwise

E. Did not fill out the Service section of the posted notice for the unlawful detainer, they left it blank

F. The rental contract they included as being a binding rental contract in the state of California does not have the appropriate signed legal addendum’s required by California law

G. is at an address that does not exist (rental contract says 1204, but there is no 1204 address that exists on this street only a 1200)

H. Does not include the tenants rights addendum as required by 18.30.100 of Ordinance 15-0016

I highly recommend if you are a landlord looking for an eviction company to not hire this company as they will cost you tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees and be completely inept in their pursuit of evicting your tenant.

Absolutely terrible experience with Fast Eviction Company. Their staff is rude, especially the front desk, which is completely unprofessional and unhelpful. They show zero responsibility for their work, constantly delay responses, and fail to communicate important updates on time.

Their priority seems to be making money rather than providing reliable service. If you’re looking for a company that actually cares about their clients, look elsewhere. I regret choosing them and would never recommend their services to anyone.

This company is beyond terrible. I hired them to serve a 60-day notice only to be notified by the tenant's attorney that Fast Evict made a mistake which voided the entire case. Fast Evict CROOKS took over $1500 from me and won't refund. Their mistake and lost time cost me over $10k in lost rent and payments.

MC Earle is the lawyer's name, but I never got to talk to him or EVEN KNOW HIS NAME until the case was voided.

Instead I was forced to defer to paralegals and office assistants who are excellent at slacking, making mistakes, and refusing responsibility. Fernando will never call you back and is slow at his job. I called every day to follow up. After 5 business days he asked rudimentary questions, showing he never paid attention. The customer service is atrocious.

They keep the pertinent documents and never share to prevent me from picking up elsewhere. Lesson learned: If you're a single person and not a corporation with a string of properties, get ready to be ripped off. They don't give 2 x's about you.

I should have listened to my gut when I read the reviews. I was deferred to them by an acquaintance of a friend when this was all new to me. If I knew how tawdry this place was, I never would have signed.

Don't be like me. Read the reviews and save yourself some sanity with another attorney who knows the laws and communicates with you.

Stay away from this company . They charge you for services that are not delivered . I hired them to help me evict my tenant . They charged me separately for serving and filing eviction case . Then they charged me to go to trial without my consent . I advised them that my tenant has paid her rent now and no trial is necessary and they haven't refunded me . I will have to take to small claim court .

PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!
My husband called so they could help us send a 3 day notice to pay or quit.
Our case became a bit overwhelming to us so we decided to seek legal counseling elsewhere. When we asked FastEvict to provide us with a copy of the 3 day notice and proof of service, they sent us a copy that is watermarked " Not for Court Filing Services" and refused to provide the proof of service. My husband asked to speak to the supervisor Fernando and Fernando told my husband that they do not give you the proof of service unless you file the eviction with them! What a SCAM!!

If I already paid for a service, why do I need to pay for another service to get proof of the initial service I PAID FOR?

HORRIBLE Service. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES.

This place is incompetent. The few times I went by their office to discuss matters, the windows were busted out. As a tenant, I was successful in Two cases when Notices to Vacate were served.
The first was a wrongful eviction and we won that one in court trial, and the remainder of the lease was honored. Financially, There were no winners, except for the attorneys pocket in that case. Both myself and the landlord respectfully agreed that we both paid heavily, due to lost time and frivolous fees incurred .
The second was actually when a property owner needed to move back in. When the notice to vacate was served, I went to court. They thought they were going to win, slam dunk, easy peasy; Right?! Nope. Fast Evictions represented our Landlord. Sweet, Round 2 ! In the end they settled for over $13k in loses, a sealed court record and both parties right to walk away with no recourse for further damages. I got my time extended for my family to live in the house, free of rent of course. Pretty sad when a high school grad with some college smoked two attorneys from this place; In Court, Twice, in 10 years.
If you’re reading this, either landlord or tenant, just be aware that they do not do their homework. Are they BAR accredited? Sure! Albeit at the local bar where they drink their sorrows away.

This review comes way after the matters at hand, now that I can avoid rental history and this review affecting my life. I do take pleasure in knowing that I was successful against this place, twice, and my family no longer has to worry about these experiences. Water under the bridge. But just know that this place can be beat. Do your homework.

I called to get information and the woman abruptly and literally just said "sorry, speak to your landlord "and hung up on me. Rude and disrespectful.

Leaving this review on behalf of my father.

Avoid this place. Started an eviction with this business and found the experience to be terrible. I hired a lawyer to ensure I was following the laws and doing my due diligence. The first case was dismissed by the courts due the lawyers not having any sort of check list before going to file eviction. A instance of not dotting our "I's" and crossing our "T's". Which in the realm of the court is not good. Tenant was 10 steps ahead of them at every time. Used a service through them to post a notice to enter property and they claimed they posted, but tenant said they never received any notice Had no proof they posted. Costing us time and money. Ultimately, voiced a few concerns and they were quick to drop me as a client.

During each mistake they never took ownership and would even move me to another clerk. Overall, the experience is terrible and I suggest you find yourself a better lawyer that makes you feel like you have a good chance because evictions in california are not easy and this business doesn't seem capable of handling this task.
