Re: roommate eviction laws
Give your friend a 3-day notice to pay or quit and a 3-day notice to abate or quit (because of his lover). If he doesn't comply with either or both, then bring an unlawful detainer lawsuit against him and all unnamed persons.
Re: roommate eviction laws
I agree with Mr. Cohen.
You have 2 problems: behind in rent and lover living there.
Serve him with 2 different 3 day notices, then evict if he doesn't comply.
Re: roommate eviction laws
You would serve a 3 day notice for the back rent. You would also serve a 30 day or 60 day notice at the same time depending upon the length of time that the roomate rented from you. Do you have a written agreement. Please contact me if you need assistance or have any other questions.
