Yes you can. The procedure is no different than any other eviction.

Re: family member eviction
You would bring a "forcible detainer" action to evict the teen. However, CA law requires you to support your children until 18 unless they are still FULLTIME high school students [living at home] or age 19, whichever occurs first. So you might be able to evict but then have to pay for the kid to live elsewhere.
