An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a suit brought by a landlord to obtain possession of rented property and receive payment of back rent. In order to legally evict a tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. The filing fee is $195 if the demand amount does not exceed $10,000. If the demand is between $10,000 and $25,000 the filing fee is $315. If the demand is over $25,000 the filing fee is $320.
