An Arrietta claim is when an occupant of a rental dwelling who is not named in the unlawful detainer lawsuit asserts a claim of right of possession. A quiet title action is used when a person claims legal ownership to real property, or wishes to remove unauthorized or improper liens clouding the title.
   
   If you are a homeowner who is being foreclosed upon or has been foreclosed upon, and are now being evicted, you need to both defend the unlawful detainer lawsuit AND file a separate civil lawsuit for wrongful foreclosure and have to two actions consolidated. The wrongful foreclosure action will most likely include, as one of its causes of action, a claim for quiet title.

Answers provided by me are for general information only. They are not legal advice. Answers must not be relied upon. Legal advice must be based on the interplay between specific exact facts and the law. This forum does not allow for the discussion of that interplay. My answer to any specific question would likely be different if that interplay were explored during an attorney-client relationship. I provide legal advice during the course of an attorney-client relationship only. The exchange of information through this forum does not establish such a relationship. That relationship is established only by personal and direct consultation with me followed by the execution of a written attorney-client agreement signed by each of us. The communications on this website are not privileged or confidential and I assume no duty to anyone by my participation on Avvo or because I have answered or commented on a question. All legal proceedings involve deadlines and time limiting statutes. So that legal rights are not lost for failure to timely take appropriate action and because I do not provide legal advice in answer to any question, if you are an interested party you should promptly and personally consult with an attorney for legal advice.
