Re: Do I need a Eviction notice to get boyfriend out of loft.?

You need to give him a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit. The forms are available at this website, or in a number of other places on the web.

You then have to file eviction proceedings (unlawful detainer), unless he pays current for April within the 3 days. If he pays, give him a 30 day notice to quit (again available here, or elsewhere).

You can change the locks after he is out.

If you need more, feel free to e-mail my office.
