Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
getting only one roommate out
i own the house, i live there, one is
fine, the other i would like to leave at
the end of their lease terms (6
monther which turns into month to
month) do i give notice at the
beginning of the 6th month to leave
by the end of the sixth month? Does
it mean anything that it goes into a
month by month, does that affect
my notice responsibilities, like do i
have to wait until the fixed is up and
then give notice for termination of
month by month? Also some of
these forms ask to list the other
roommates as if i would be required
to kick the other one out as well if i
dont give reason to this roommate
why he has to leave? I didnt want to
give reason as i thought it might
cause more conflict...but do i in order
to only remove the one roommate?

Re: getting only one roommate out
Private lodgers are generally treated differently than other tenants, but only where there are no other private lodgers.
You give give 30 days notice, at the beginning of the sixth month.
I don't know what form you are looking at, but a normal 30 day notice is all that is needed.
Just give notice to the one you want to leave.
