An unlawful detainer action is a summary proceeding to determine the right to possession of property.[16] Its history is grounded in the preservation of peaceful and lawful remedies for the landlord, to avoid forcible evictions.[17] The action is narrow, and the court's jurisdiction is limited to settling the right of possession.[18] "[I]ssues unrelated to possession are not properly part of an unlawful detainer action."[19]
