Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: I asked for a Gay male roommate

Mr. Mccoy is entirely correct in his response. You may, however, be able to both get a non-treatening roommate and act lawfully. I assume what you really want is someone one will not make any advances as to your live in GF [girl or guy ? friend], which is a legitimate requirement and is not banned as being invidious discrimination. So in future ads state want you want as to their behavior and interview people on that basis, not as to their sexual inclinations. Do not try to oust the current renter on a sexual orientation basis, but rather do so because he sexually assualted the cleaning person, whcih is the commission of a crime and the basios for a three day notice. Check, however, if you ar under any rent control ordiance that must also be followed. Tell the renter why you want him out and try to work out an agreement for his leaving; he he will not leave, send him a certified letter stating the legimitate reasons for demanding that he leave [do not say he defrauded you by claiming to be gay] and that you are giving him notice to vacate [giving a 30 days id safer than a three day which is curable] and have someone, including your GF, serve him personally with the Notice and then the subsequent court papers. It is cheaper and much less stressful if you can get him to agree to leave without going through an eviction procedure.
