Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Removal of occupants

I have a house that a relative has been living in. They stopped paying in 7/04. I have now sold the house and they are refusing to vacate for a termite inspection. There is no written or implied landlord/tenant agreement. The house is in my name only. How can I have them removed?

You can give a 30 day notice and then have an attorney help you with an eviction action if they do not leave. Please contact our office if you have any other questions.

Re: Removal of occupants

They aretenants, like any other renter. You will need to give them the correct formal notice to terminate the tenancy (or a 3-day notice to pay all back rent or move). If they do not move, you will need to file formal eviction proceedings.
