Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

A guest has no right to stay beyond their welcome. You can call the police to remove him at any time, really. If, as you have, you have been very reasonable, it just makes it easier for you to get the police to act.

You have yourself a tenant, and as such, if he has lived there one year or more, you have to give him 60 days notice of termination of tenancy; then you can file an eviction lawsuit to remove him from the property. Because he contributed to the household expenses - even though it is so little - a court will almost certainly find that he is a tenant. The rules then require a 30 day notice if he has lived in the home for under one year, or if one year or longer, then you must give him 60 days notice.
